As bad as it sounds, this is definitely the best advice unless you actually have the funds and determination to bring legal action against the licensing breach I assume ?
I doubt a private citizen would have the resources to stand against these companies at the moment. The situation could get better in the future, in case some big company puts the resources to fight in court and wins. The precedent could be of great help in presenting similar cases.
I mean, if you have those kinds of funds, you probably also already have lawyers on retainer and lawsuits are already SOP. I don't know how effective that would be under the current legal climate.
