Now, IANAL and I don't know low likely it actually is, but if FE does decide to sue us, then we should be able to prove that what we are doing isn't "technically" illegal. If any member here is a lawyer, he/she ought to consider being our attorney in such a case. If not, then it would do well for us to get a lawyer who's quite proficient on the operation and use of internet creative licenses and the like.
Nonetheless, I am running some scenarios regarding the conclusions of such a trial and the implications for them. For example, say that our actions are indeed found to be illegal. Or that TVT's rewriting of the relicensing rules are found to be illegal. What could be the end results of either scenario?
Would we have to fold up shop and crawl back to TVT in the first scenario? Would FE actively resist the second scenario's ruling to detrimental results?
Does anyone else want to take a stab at guessing other scenarios/implications?
