So how can Apple go after them *before* they've suffered damages? I  
thought it was more or less standard procedure to let someone violate  
a trademark, copyright, etc. for a few years so that there would be a  
provable financial impact. Then you go after every penny they made,  
and then some. And if there is none, why waste the time and money  
going after them?
