"Asking us to heed it" is a contract claim, not copyright infringement
claim you silly.

By filing copyright infringement claim the licensor materially breaches
his obligation/consideration (i.e. obligation not to sue for
infringment) in a license agreement.

"FOURTEENTH AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSE
(MATERIAL BREACH)

On information and belief, Defendant alleges that Plaintiffs’ claims are
barred because any and all obligations Defendant may have had under the
alleged license agreement at issue in this case were excused by the
material breaches of the agreement by Plaintiffs."

"SIXTEENTH AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSE
(LACK AND/OR FAILURE OF CONSIDERATION)

On information and belief, Defendant alleges that Plaintiffs’ claims are
barred because Defendant’s performance of any obligations with respect
to the alleged license at issue in this action have been excused by lack
and/or material failure of consideration on the part of Plaintiffs with
respect to that license."

Oh poor SFLC...
