Or to consider a recent cycling example, think about how Specialized initially reacted to a bike shop when there was no real potential confusion over what was going on.
The stink that this ^^^ stirred up is more along the lines of what I had in mind. If RB were to seek damages, most likely against the shop that assisted a customer in reproducing protected material, I think that the story would gain traction among some of RB's key demographics - the weekend warriors, x-gamer types, ext.

Agreed... but it is exceptional and I would expect that there's no putting this cat back in the bag.
