Do you think he would actually get the message, though? Arguably his little splash in the pond hasn't harmed the income of any of the mega-yachts he's paddling around beside, so I doubt any judge would hand down significant damages. But maybe the attention and negative press would make it much harder to secure future publishing contracts, and would probably kill any plans for a Disney Eragon reboot dead in the water.

And that's enough boat metaphors for now, I'd better set sail before I sink...
