And the legal case against such unauthorised users would seem to me
pretty open and shut.

Unlike EOT, where a Foundry Alpha and Foundry Beta both offer EOT
licenses for the same fonts, and so neither can tell if a user is
authorised by the other or not (at least in places with respect for
privacy like the UK; I'm not sure what privacy law is like outside the
UK)
