It is great publicity for one side to threaten legal actions, especially when they can get the publicity, publicity, publicity----bzzzt!! zzzzaaaapppp! Spoingggggg!!!!
In reality, some of this could badly backfire on the aggressor and in this case would be well deserved. The only real problem though is that such cases get two shots at publicity, when they are made, and when the court verdict is finally read (oh, one or two squibs during the trail of course), but the worst thing is that it will be several years between the threat and the verdict, during which time there will be distraction upon distraction for the parties, but nothing for the masses. In real truth, the point is the distraction that prevents real attention to the point that both the parties are trying to present.
Lets hope a water bucket gets tossed on this one fast!!!
