it's not really the publicity that appeals to me, it's the idea that if
something like that ever goes to court it could change everything. it
could be the turning point in intellectual property law that we're all
fighting for, or say we're fighting for.

which is one reason why these things never go all the way to a court.
the powers that be want things to stay the way they are. so it's in their
interest to continue to send scary letters and get ignorant artists to
give up before things get to court. because i believe that if something
like your music or my music did go to court, it would WIN. and it would be
a landmark case if it did.
