You have to trust the reasonableness of the courts. And don't worry, they won't go after you. That line of reasoning is wrong on so many levels it's comical.

If you don't abide by the law, you may get sued. If you do abide by the law, you may still get sued. There's no reasoning in there, it's a simple fact.

'My startup may get sued' is not a good argument against a law.
