As a lawyer you should know that (at least in the US) relief from a default judgment is available. Such relief requires a showing of good cause, but the standard for "good cause" doesn't appear to be especially high.
So you want to profiteer on a broken system? Cool. But don't hang out here, handing out advice and pretending that you're anything but part of the problem.
The fact you're a patent troll with a software patent for an "innovation" that (according to this comment's sibling comments) is super trivial, obvious, and certainly not new puts your perspective into perspective! I hope it gets invalidated!
As a point of note, I'm not clicking on that link so I can remain ignorant of that patent. I hear that's the best course of action for developers ... just in case!
Also, I just watched your TED application video: people sometimes go to the US with empty suitcases for the purposes of shopping because it's cheaper to buy the same or similar products in the US than it is to buy them locally. More importantly, it's fun. They also do the same in other countries too!
