It's hard to decide whether the fiasco is reassuring--look! the law treats a huge corporation the same as it would a little guy who didn't bother to answer a complaint!--or incredibly depressing. I mean, how much money will now be expended on the appeal of the default judgment, with the almost foregone conclusion that Pepsi will prevail and be given the right to answer the complaint?
