I can't say what Ty's motivations are but I was involved in a lawsuit where someone tried to steal songs of mine and the case spun wildly out of control. My lawyer suggested a mediation as an attempt to settle. I offered the crazy bitch (even though she wasn't entitled to it) a trademark I owned associated with the songs, which is worth several thousand dollars, the lyrics to the songs (I was willing to write new lyrics), and a number of other things, but not the actual songs or the music and arrangements. Of course the mediation failed and the case went before the judge.
After the mediation failed, I had told my lawyer that I wasn't surprised it failed and I didn't even know why we did it because she was never going to settle for anything I offered other than full ownership of the songs/music she wanted to steal.
My lawyer told me though that wasn't the point. He knew she wouldn't take it as well, but now it's on record to the judge that I attempted to be reasonable and actually offered her items in a significant dollar amount to end this case and she rejected any talk of it so now she's clearly the unreasonable one.
