It's funny...
...back in the day, the Org would just quietly pay whatever settlement or fine was required, and stay under the radar.
Seems these days, however, they're far more inclined to hit back in the form of counter-suits, DCMA takedowns, and the like.
This suggests a couple things to me...
...that at this point in time, they've become self-deluded enough (in their own righteousness, or at least in their ability to afford it) that they can't imagine they'll lose...
...and/or...
...they've become so desperate to hide the scope of their problems (particularly from the rank-and-file), that they're willing to risk severely embarrassing public defeat in the slim hope that they'll...
a) ...get lucky and put off the inevitable for another year, or...
b) ...that Jehovah - seeing how much they're being "persecuted" at the hands of "Satan's World", will step in and grant His "Exclusive Organization" victory by miraculously snatching it from the jaws of certain defeat - up to and including kicking off the Great Tribulation (something that, I might add, is strongly implied - if not spelled out explicitly - in WT eschatology*).
Now...
...who here thinks that the situations described above are recipes for the Org's future success?
...
*Conveniently forgetting, of course, that according to that very selfsame eschatology, "Babylon the Great" is supposed to be attacked first...
