Unless that judge now sits on the High Court of Justice of England and Wales, this sounds like guilt by association. Just one of my personal bugaboos.

This case won't be appealed. The ISPs barely participated in the first place because they had no particular interest in wasting tons of money on defending an issue that they don't really care about and The Pirate Bay wasn't a party to the action.

It's hard to charge $250 an hour to review documents that a human could read. And actually, periodically a "plain drafting" movement will get some steam in the legal industry. Unfortunately, a lot of legal documents that are "translated" to plain language end up losing some important detail or changing the detail of something small (small that is, until it goes to court).
