Keep in mind that SFOR has more patents to sue for. This is just the beginning. Pretty soon those who buy security from those in violation will jump ship from their providers and buy from SFOR themselves. No body wants to be involved with buisnesses that will be on the next to sue list! That would be like staying on the Titanic when you could get on the life boat.Especially when they see a pattern of settlements.
It also involves their reputation because their security providers brag about them as their clients. Would you want to stay in the pig pen with them and have your companys reputation muddied? I think not!
