Don't blame small claims courts. Bigger courts have avoided executing their office around tech or big money issues, IME (in my experience). I've seen judges make wrong decisions because the burden on the defendant (would have had to post a bond to do the appeal) seemed "too great". $2,000, $200,000 or $20,000,000 -- if you are the one to get paid, you will usually be happier in a court that handles matters of that size regularly.
