The complaint was filed August 24, 2010. Which means it was served shortly thereafter and Triton had 25 days to respond. Which would have put their Answer due some where at the end of September. When they didnt respond to the lawsuit, Disney & Warner Bros filed their motion for default judgment.
It would have have taken til the end of October for that to be signed by the judge, if Triton didnt respond. By the beginning of November the judge would have signed off on the judgment and viola we have a news story about Disney and Warner Bros getting $400K on November 1st.
If the matter was tried on the merits of the case it would have taken at least 1-2 yrs for it to come to a Motion for Summary Judgment or trial.
No case goes from complaint to resolution in 60 days unless no one opposed it.
