The problem with that is: The US wants/needs the WTO to control other members, like China. If it just completely ignores the WTO in this case, it will basically kill the WTO and any future sanctions will hold no water.

For sure. The US may find a way to wriggle out of this, but they will definitely not just ignore it. It's a lot more serious than that.

Yeah where the rubber hits the road is when the CEO of Disney calls up John Kyl and says "[censored] your moral crusade, I need IP protection for my DVDs." Generally speaking, once something becomes an issue for Big Business, business wins and the fundie are ignored. See, e.g. immigration.
