Unless the copyright violator has tracked the parties
to whom he has illegally distributed the work, he will
be unable to make good on the copyright holder's desire
that the recipients be informed of their permissions.
That's what makes the violation irreparable.

Remember that an amicus brief doesn't necessarily limit
itself to the specifics in the case for which it is filed:

Amicus Briefs -- Why File Them?
<http://volokh.com/archives/archive_2009_07_19-2009_07_25.shtml#1248111047>
    from chapter 12.2 of Federal Appellate Practice
    an amicus brief can explain the practical effects of a
    particular outcome on individuals or groups not before
    the court.
