Nah it’s pretty easy to kill litigation before it starts if things step up. If you receive a cease and desist and don’t want to fight it, you can shut it down and never look back. If you’re served paperwork with a court date, the initial hearings can get the lawsuit thrown out if there are no grounds for a case on intellectual property infringement, one of which is “non-profit”. In fact, a lot of people would argue that Yuzu was completely in the right to do what they did despite having a link to their patreon, but at that point the courts might decide either way and litigation costs money.
