Hi!

We have checked this issue with swedish experts on law and according to them, we
can't lose a case like this.

First of all we want to come to an agreement with Millenium and second we don't
want to spend a lot of time in a german court. We have a very short summer and I
want to be out in the nature, not in a courtroom.
