As noted, extension of any contract-violation judgement past IBM to
others is not only problematic, but also not within the scope of the
lawsuit complaint.  If you mean solely that easily spooked people might
fear that, irrationally, without regard to whether it's a realistic
concern -- OK.  

However, people _that_ easily spooked are forever at the winds of the
current worry of the day; always have been, always will be.
