Although this is true, "court action" is no more than a hollow threat, as it's a business-based crime. A case would never be able to arise from the infringement unless it has significant value (the product generally has to be given a specific high value at retail level), as lawyers would not oblige due to the minimum profit gained by winning the case. I doubt many people have the common sense to, but all it takes is for somebody to question your threat, and then you have just made yourself look rather silly.
As Jimmi rightly said, the true way of dealing with this issue is simply avoiding his content, if it annoys you. Making empty threats won't take you further than the bottom line of people.
