SFC: John Deere's ongoing GPL violations: What's next
This is a serious issue that goes far beyond one person wanting to fix their printer software, or install an alternative firmware on a luxury device. It has far-reaching implications for all farmers' livelihoods, for food security throughout the world, and for how we as a society choose to reward those who make our lives better, or stand in the way of empowering everyone to improve the world.

The Vizio case mentioned by another poster, is an attempt at legal action without copyright owner involvement based on the GPL being a contract that individuals can sue for enforcement without developer involvement in the case (i.e. end users have enforceable rights as well as developers). Or at least that is my understanding of the Vizio case.
