Lawyers already work for WB genius, you understand that right? You think WB doesn't prepay legal services by the briefcase full?
Again, it entirely depends on the nature of the company. Disney will sue your ass off for looking at them funny, and they shit C&Ds like nobody's business, other companies, not so much.
If you think frivolous lawsuits get "tossed" by an objective judiciary, then when are you buying my bridge? Crazy girl who goes nuts when she's broken up with and gets her rich daddy to pay to file civil suit after civil suit alleging psychological damage. Seen it, had a friend live it. His ability to withstand it only came from much wealthier people donating legal services to help him. Her "comeuppance", none.
Quit trying to "make sense" of the law. That's not how the game is played. It's entirely who has the deepest pockets and best creative argument. And if the shmuck on the other side can't rub two pennies together to defend themselves, then you just bleed them dry. Using the law to get your way isn't all that different from war, just without the guns. Some countries roll over like France, other's do the rolling.
Yes, WB has lawyers on retainer, yes they could theoretically shoot blanks at ghosts. However DDO is such a small percent of anything in the business they really could not give a damn.
Blizzard's Diablo3 had people duping, hacking, boting stuff which literally translated into REAL $$$ and not a squeak from a lawyer was heard as far as I can tell. Blizzards a company with lawyers on retainer and a company who cared about their intellectual property as an online game.
WB doesn't give a shit about DDO unless it effects their books or their time. Using their retainer lawyers is the same as using their time, and quite frankly those lawyers have better busy work to do than shooting blanks at ghosts.
Talking about ghosts no luck getting exploit #1 working and no word on exploit #2.
