With the $7.3 or whatever the exact dollar amount involved in the ruling, I doubt a lawyer is going to want to take this case pro bono, at least I know I wouldn't if I were a lawyer. The second scenario you posed is fairly interesting though and makes sense if the ruling is as precedent making as this thread is inferring.
