Interesting Comments section to the story. The posters sound like us! Well worth reading the comments so far!
(Note: LANGUAGE warning with the comments.) My favorite one so far is: "So does Bob Shaye still have the RIng?" 
Hm...after re-reading this: change that to VERY freaking miffed. I'll bet they didn't expect the TE to not back down, indeed, to only amp up the pressure. By now, when lawsuits of this sort go on for years, as one of the Commenters says, the studio deploys armies of lawyers to batter them down over time and wear down their resistance. But unlike just about everyone else, the TE didn't buy it, anymore than Jackson did. I'll bet PJ is going to be very happy at hearing this news, and not just so his project can finally go forward!

That interpretation sounds a little over-emotional.
