This is what film companies do with some regularity. And if I read this right, they lost not because of this practice, but because they lied about it? Maybe it will set a precedent, though. Who knows?

I think it just depends on who is being harmed by it and whether they have the capacity to sue. I mean, the practice is sort of deceptive/fraudulent on it’s face. But maybe this will give others ammunition to fight back.
