The owner has to show losses to recover anything after you are found guilty. So without knowing who the owner is and not being able to prove losses because they item is no longer available for sale even if the owner wanted to sell it (code was lost) I can't see it going to court at all.

It takes somebody to press charges to even get a court case. For example if I walked over to a neighbor and beat the living hell out of them, while the act is illegal there is no prosecution unless the one getting beat down presses charges.
