Is it hypocritical to sue the WPT then play in the PPT?

I see some of the 7 who sued the WPT playing on the PPT.

Should they boycott the PPT on principle? or hey...free money is free money screw principle?

All of the PPT events were held well before the lawsuit took place.

Foxwoods - Nov. 2004
Commerce - Feb. 2005
Bay 101 - Mar. 2005

The difference is that the PPT puts up the prize money....so if they want you to stand on your hands, do cartwheels, or whatever, then that's their choice. On the other hand, the WPT prize pool is completely comprised of the players who choose to play in it. Therefore, they should not force you to sign waivers so they can profit on your image.
