This would probably only happen if the Free Software Foundation (or whoever owns the copyright on LAME) were to sue Sony for copyright infringement. I'd be glad to donate to a "legal offense fund" for such a purpose because they will definitely need it.
FSF does not own LAME's copyright.
but i sure hope EFF will take this case on behalf of LAME developers.

Ahhh ok... Usually the FSF requests that you transfer copyright of a GPL or LGPL'ed work to them if you would want them to handle the enforcement of that particular license.

I'm not even sure the copyright owner needs to start the ball rolling in court. Remember that big notice on all of your purchased VCR tapes and DVDs? The one that says (in part) "The FBI investigates allegations of copyright infringment..." All that would seem to be needed is an "allegation" from the copyright owner. Then the FBI reads the threads at BBRinvestigates and takes them to court on criminal charges. The outcome of that trial would then lay the foundation for a civil suit - and a guilty finding in the criminal case pretty much sews up a civil suit, or makes the deSfeOndaNntY settle rather generously out of court.
