They have been under significant government scrutiny and have the best legal representation in the country. First you have to spend ... how much? Probably 10-20K just to have attorneys assess the situation fully and give you an opinion on it. Then what? who is going to pay to fight assuming everyone can get on board with a weak case against them? Acacia got right in everyones face and claimed to own the rights to video/audio on the web and were suing people.. yet people did jack shit except for 11 companies and the few that sent cash. Some here know for sure, but i would venture to guess that the legal bill is probably over 1.5 mil by now. If people counldn't get on board to face an obvious, direct threat, then they definately won't get on board to face a threat where no one can know for sure if it affects them at all.
