Get a fucking clue.
You should have a little more proof before you force someone to spend a shit load of money defending themselves.

you didn't get any proof that my car was damaged, you don't have witnesses, your ownly evidence is that i was close by.
i might have done it but you need to do a lot more digging before your allowed to win a summary judgement.

1. nobody is required to have a lawyer to show up and say not guilty, get legal help, or file a motion. Hell a lawyer is not even required to file a lawsuit on someone.
2. Yes if you do not defend yourself, file motions back, or show up to have a case dismissed on the grounds you feel it falls under. You = lost lawsuit and pay.
3. Civil suits are not the same as criminal suits, understand this concept. You may know a lot about copyright laws themselves and how they played out in the past. You seem to know nothing of how courts work.
4. Even in your car defense which is more elaborate than what is required in at the opening of a lawsuit (again civil not criminal). You still could be sued in such a situation with someone having almost no evidence about you or your car. That is why you would file a motion for dismissal. If you did not, you did not excessive your own rights and fucked yourself. Hope you enjoy paying off your judgement.
This thread just makes me happy. Was curious what your giant crack of weakness would be. Never thought it would be how the law really works. I just hope to god now that someone sues you and you do not show up on your beliefs on how shit should work.
