Both sides will stretch the law as far as they can to achieve their business goals. Standard business practice. And concepts of "right or wrong" (if such concepts have any meaning here at all) will be buried in legal wrangling. I think when legal action is pending "Caveat emptor" should be stressed. The customers and potential customers are not served well by the current situation.
