It's interesting how so many people miss this. I often hear "Big Co. can't do Y, it'd be a violation of X!". Well of course they can. No one is going to pull C-Level executives from their beds in the middle of the night because they did something you don't like.

Likewise, lots of people seem to think that just because some IP has entered the public domain or it's "fair use" you won't get sued if you start using it. Of course you'll get sued. The plaintiff doesn't expect to win, they expect you to give up. I can already hear the sound of a thousand keyboards typing out responses to this how numerous jurisdictions have laws against "SLAPP" lawsuits.
