It does change the fact that people don’t have to be afraid to use any of it.
Even though Disney would lose in court, you really don’t want to ever be in the same room as Disney’s lawyers.

On the one hand, I was tempted to disagree with you out of principle - Since being on the winning side is almost always favorable.
… But on the other hand, I rarely want to be in the same room as any lawyers, much less Disney’s. So yeah, I’d rather just avoid being in a situation where I have to be on either side - winning or otherwise =]
