The court's right to impound/destroy unauthorized copies doesn't necessarily extend to the purchaser doing the same, without a court order.

The court has the right to jail people for contempt of court; a random person in the courtroom doesn't have the right to do the same thing, no matter how disrespectful they think a statement was.

Looks like a class action opportunity. But it's probably a pretty small class! Not much money in that...
I think that last statement is the key point here. There will be no lawsuit because there's no money in it.
