Someday, I'd like to see someone, somewhere, stand up to them. Too many forums and other sites just immediately comply with their frivolous demands, which actually infringes on our consumer rights.
This isn't entirely true. Their letters are backed up not by law, but by a cadre of highly trained, very expensive, lawyers. They may not be able to legally stop something, but they can smother it to death in legal proceedings and legal fees until the target of their wrath is nothing but a bankcrupt, quivering mass of something that used to be a man.

And that's provided the courts don't commit yet another act of monumental stupidity and side with GW. All it would take is 1 case where what you said isn't upheld to give the GW legal department the foothold it needs to crush things even further.
