I would say not. Is a single AFOL going to sue TLC? No way! They already
have lawyers on salary, so it isn't going to run up their bills as fast as
the person suing. Being big lets you bully people with impunity.

A gorilla may resort to violence to get its way, but you don't go that route
against it because you can't win a fight with a gorilla. Any large
corporation can be viewed as such an animal. It is just the way it is. The
only weapon you have against a large corporation is bad publicity, and that
usually comes in your behalf after they sue you. The general public hates
to see individuals or small companies sued by multi-national mega-corps.
Look at the outcry over Etoy being sued by eToys. The way I figure it, just
ignore them. For the most part, it is either a bluff, or they want to push
you as far as they can without giving you your real weapon - publicity.
Of course, when you have to go after them, it is virtually impossible. Just
because you (as the AFOL community as a whole) roll over whenever they come
after you with a statement from their legal department, don't expect them to
do the same for you. It is not an equal relationship.
