That, I am sure, is true. Then someone, someday, with more money drops a load from a very great height on them and they will prolly hide behind freedom of something or other themselves.

...if they win.

If the lose, well, they will have helped create a legal precedent and at the same time turned themselves into an open target. This whole deal makes absolutely no sense end to end.
