My son composes - and has published - classical music scores. He has also had some of those works performed by others - without them legally obtaining copies of the music. He now has a lawyer on call to help protect his copyright. It's basically all intellectual property, and someone earns a livelihood off of it. So it wouldn't really matter to me initially who the defendant and/or plaintiff were, rather the merits of the case and claim would govern. Of course if contrary facts, avarice, greed and other shit came out during the trial, I might become jaded, vindictive, stop caring and check out.
