Normally the lawyers in these cases have one of either 2 motives - 1) idealogical (will pursue theses cases to push a political point so as to influence/intimidate others and to develop a political policy down the line) or 2) Financial. And if all things go well they get both done. Whether or not these intentions are good probably depends on whether you think freer markets should be allowed or not. Or whether they should be governed by idealogy pushing the money to one side of the political spectrum or another.
