'One random guy wins $850 in small claims court from AT&T' - you think that is newsworthy? I disagree. We wouldn't have been hearing about this had AT&T not tried to shut him up.

We did year about it on the day the guy won his case. Yes, they are making more news out of a story they could have easily squashed, but it wasn't an unknown event that the guy won the initial case.
Right, but 10 different people winning $850 in small claims court from AT&T would be newsworthy. It might convince more people to follow in their footsteps.
They will learn from this mistake. They just ran into http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streisand_effect
The way to handle this if you are AT&T is to pay the $850 and then ignore anything else he does and wait for it to go away.
