Vault sought preliminary and permanent injunctions against Quaid to prevent them from advertising and selling RAMKEY. They also sought an order to impound all of Quaid's copies of RAMKEY, as well as $100,000,000 in monetary damages. Vault asserted the following claims:
- Infringement of the exclusive right to copy by copying PROLOK into RAM for a purpose other than that intended by Vault
- Contributory infringement by providing software that customers can use to infringe on Vault's and Vault's clients' copyrights
- Creation of an infringing derivative work by one version of RAMKEY that contained approximately 30 characters of the PROLOK source code

“The higher the state of civilization, the more completely do the actions of one member of the social body influence all the rest, and the less possible is it for any one man to do a wrong thing without interfering, more or less, with the freedom of all his fellow-citizens.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
“Before anything else, we need a new age of Enlightenment. Our present political systems must relinquish their claims on truth, justice and freedom and have to replace them with the search for truth, justice, freedom and reason.”
