Damages 

It's clear that the damages the 400 million dollars the US government is paying someone for property for which I have not been my due compensation in accordance with the 5th amendment of the US constitution. That is what the theory of AI is worth. YOU JUST PAID FOR IT. YOU SET THE PRICE BY PAYING.

Hym "Maybe you are confused about the price of the damages not because it's 1 dollar but because you're a retarded thief. Have you considered that? The US government has paid for the property ALREADY. The property they paid for cost 400 million dollars. I have yet to receive 400 million dollars for the property that THE US GOVERNMENT believes is worth 400 million dollars. AND.... The US government ALSO BELIEVES... I have a right (guaranteed to me by the US compensation) to be duely compensated. What is due compensation for a 400 million dollar asset? Not 1 dollar. It's 400 million. You set the price for me by buying it from him. Allowing him to steal it from me. Allowing him to get away with molesting his sister. Get these people an camera. Remember they chose 'the life of an innocent child'. RATHER THAN ME HAVING RIGHTS."

treble damages 

What you ask for in a lawsuit against an audio-equipment manufacturer due to your stereo's loudspeakers having a dull muffled "muddy" sound instead of producing crisp high-frequencies as they are supposed to.

I am amazed that anyone would bother suing for treble damages; since many audiophiles --- especially the younger ones --- complain that their systems don't produce enough BASS... usually the midrange and high notes come through just fine.

bass damages 

Da opposite of "treble damages"; it refers to what a court awards you due to a loudspeaker-array's woofers sounding grindy, buzzy, and/or just plain crappy.

You can also be awarded "bass damages" if someone's excessively-loud/thumpy woofers cause hearing-loss and/or structural harm to your property.

bass damages vs. treble damages

Refers to da "3-to-1" ratio of where ya either sue da audio-equipment manufacturer for just da expenses dat you incurred due to their shoddy/faulty workmanship on their woofers dat were installed in your loudspeakers, as opposed to asking them to pay you three times your expenses if da tweeters either didn't work properly or had crappy sound.

Pro-grade speaker-builders like JBL and EV are always very careful how they build their rugged high-powered speakers designed for rock bands and outdoor concerts --- they use only da best materials and really "build 'em like a tank" to ensure reliability and quality sound, and therefore lessen da chance of their having to worry about "bass damages vs. treble damages" lawsuits from disgruntled musicians.

pewnitive damages 

A court ruling dat specifies dat you must attend church as a penalty for excessive farting.

In da infamous "July is National Baked Bean Month" speech, da speaker would likely be assigned pewnitive damages if said scenario had happened in real life.

statuetory damages 

What you sue someone for when they created a stone image of you, either because they did so without your permission or said sculpture was of an uncomplimentary design.

Crispin Glover never said dat da "Back To The Future" producers could use his likeness in their sequel-movies, and so he was able to successfully sue them for statuetory damages.
