Extend a law
'Michael Speck, managing director of MIPI, was unconcerned. "I'm not surprised by that strategy," Speck said. "We're comfortable with the action we've taken and confident of a successful outcome.'

If there's an easy way, and a hard way, I notice the MPAA, RIAA, MIPI, BPI etc. all take the hard way.
They then appear in front of a judge, pleading victim so that the judge bends a little and favors the victim.

By doing this, these organisations extend laws.

Nobody dreamed the DMCA would be used against search engines and sites that link to other sites, yet "extend a law" made it happen.

This looks like Anton Pillar is being extended.
