Well suing and prosecuting are different things. Each state is different in their criminal codes, but I know in Ohio it is pretty cut and dry when it comes to our crimes involving "computers" and other telecommunication devices. But when much of the acts occur in various jurisdictions and much of the evidence lies all over the country, I do know that criminal prosecutions get very difficult at that point.
Now civil suits are whole different animal. And further, this case involves intellectual property, which adds even more layers of complexities. I am not a patent attorney. You have to actually take a whole separate patent bar to practice in that area in the US. If that is any indication of just how complex the issues get, you can see why wading through a civil suit on the issues will take time, money, skill, and tons of litigation. Even if they are suing this guy, the case will probably last like 5 years at the least.
