Another approach hat is very common in real life:
You must obey and follow the law, the US law tells that you cannot take the work of other person, if you do you will be punished.
Fine, I shall follow the law and take the work of many people and obtain a huge profit with its use. Following the law the offended parts will sue me at a Justice court. With whom does not I shall get an extra profit and who does it then will be lawyers, discussions, more lawyers, appealtions and can take many years to reach the final veredict. I can win or lose the cause. If I win the cause I get an extra profit. If I lose, then I have to stop using the works, no problem, the product is already obsolette. Also I have to pay, also no problem, what I have to pay in lost causes already is a part of the product's cost. I am only following the law and obeying the decisions of Justice.
Microsoft won and lost hundreds or thousands of causes. Do you think that was Billy Gates that payed the lost causes? Nooo!, it was you that payed it every time you purchased Windows. The bailouts that the banks have received, a significative part of the money was used to pay the lost cause. Again, it were taxpayers and not the banks that payed the lost causes.
Don't blame the lawyers, they don't twist, change or invent the Laws, they only brownse among the tons and more tons of existent laws to find the most appropiate for the case. But judges have some power to interpret the law, but they can be bribed and can be good friends or political allies.
Well, I suppose that nobody will make a fortune with a Vicky5 skin tatoo, so forget all above.
Stupidity also evolves!
