Doesn't surprise me.  You get a bad client, one who doesn't take your 
contract seriously even after signing it, proceeds to break a few of the 
articles--the ones that really matter to you--manages to do so in such a 
way that even if you take him to court, your attorney can't convince the 
judge that you are in the right, and boom! you don't get the satisfaction 
you were hoping for.  Or you get a judge who's incredibly dense and/or 
ignorant about the Internet, or (worst case scenario), the fix is in.

As has been said about restraining orders, "This is a piece of paper, not a 
bulletproof shield."  I haven't had any serious problems with our clients 
that required outside intervention, but I've had my share who seemed to be 
surprised that we were serious about being paid on time and applying a late 
fee if their checks were late.  Great contract, written by a good attorney, 
annoying client who is now an ex.
