I would like for WMF to make Burger King feel that their misuse of WIkipedia was inappropriate and for WMF to hit them where it counts -- in their checkbook -- and with enough force that corporations will decide that messing with Wikipedia is both ethically wrong and financially not worth the risk.
A far better (and less WP:BITEy) outcome would be to get then to support our mission, for instance by donating media, or encouraging staff (I'm thinking of these at HQ, rather than low-paid servers) to volunteer their time as editors and photographers.
We could also enlist them to encourage similar-sized corporations to do likewise, and to sign up to ethical editing guidelines.
