costs of legal action
Even in the UK the costs of bringing an action are considerable; over recent decades even Legal Aid, which helped the poor and lower middle classes has been eroded almost to the point of uselessness. In the US such costs are generally higher.
Finding a lawyer to take on a case is not that easy. I suggest the case has enough in it to merit court time. Google does not like going to court, though; unless to erode copyright!
