The thing is, some of these companies are f***ed either way in something like this. If they file the briefs, the right gives them hell. If they don't they get hell fromt he media and the left. Either way, they run the risk of losing money to competitors. So, they're going to minimize risks, they're going to pay the Danegeld - because for them, it's cheaper. Unfortunately, they risk the return of the Dane.
Furthermore, it's hard to see how this solves the problem. The real problem is the racial extortionists like Jesse Jackson. The problem is, they don't threaten physical harm in most cases. They threaten bad press. Physical harm is a lot easier to deal with than a nasty PR controversy.

Exactly. That's why subverting the AA process is the best bet. Make it so that either (a) AA becomes known as the biggest scam around, or (b) make AA subject to so much regulation that it's easier to simply study hard and get good grades to get into college.
