royalty payments alone will not suffice

Cracker-jack lawyer? You can't expect a judge to shut facebook down or force them to cease advertising etc. It would inconvenience millions of people, cash is the most you can win here.

Had Yahoo! tried to shut down a much, much smaller Facebook years ago maybe, now? No way.

The lawsuit itself claims it's been going on for years, they should have acted BEFORE it inconveniences millions.

I think this is a PR stunt, as the saying goes - if you can't make things better, make them worse first.
