Yes, why worry about actual damages, or even actual harm, when you can work the legal system to get money from someone else? Of course, this case has lawyers involved, which apparently somehow differentiates it morally from highway robbery and ba…

Great, at this rate they'll turn iOS devices into ersatz theremins in no time. It's already a bit too easy to interact unintentionally with the touch interface; I don't really want a device where I have to worry about every movement and gesture.
