SCO Estmort stated for the record:
We can't
fight China; it'd waste our time and they wouldn't even
notice. We're not magically endowed crusaders for truth and justice;
we're writers. Ripe targets are all well and good, but picking a fight
we can win should come before picking a fight that sounds good.
The key thing is that we can win, and that is why they are ripe,
because the copyright violation is so blatant.
Otherwise, there'd be no point releasing Wikipedia under the GFDL; we
might as well do it under the public domain. The key thing is to keep
our material free.
Supposing for the moment that we won the most crushing victory in the
history of international jurisprudence ... what would we do if they just
ignored it? Who do we call to enforce the judgment? For some reason I
doubt that the State Department is going to send any sternly-worded
communiqués on our behalf, to say nothing of the likelihood that
Congress is going to impose any trade sanctions....
