It's just a cat and mouse game. Some intern comes up with a brilliant way to shaft people, a VP takes that idea and forces devs to work overtime on it, it generates a lot of revenue (and fat bonus for the VP), then the lawyers on both sides to get to spend a lot of time slowly arguing with each other while taking money from the company and taxpayers. By the time it gets to this point, the company already has five other schemes in the works.
