Judge or Jury

A copyright infringement action seeking damages can be tried to a judge or jury. What are people's experiences with trials to the court or a judge. Is one preferable over the other? I find copyright claims are so esoteric, and the law so subtle and bizarre, that a jury would seem incapable of fairly deciding the issues. On the other hand, trying a case to a Federal judge, who is neither knowledgeable nor interested in the hypertechnical aspect of such claims, does not seem too palatable either.

Any suggestions?
