Music to my ears.

A few pilots, a very few, have actually been known to start legal proceedings because that is the only way to effect change. In many situations, initiating legal proceedings is the only way to make the existing laws applicable and enforceable.

Doing so, however, almost inevitably comes at an incredible price, in far more than monetary terms. None of their (former) friends will ever accuse them of being altruistic. At least not around here, anyway.
