I would call that a soft win. Urban Outfitters is still in business, still printing money, still going to infringe in the future and people will forget their transgression in a matter of days.

Great, they pulled the particular piece because they got enough negative attention. How many other things on their shelves are infringing that we don't hear about? The point remains that an even if this one case was "won", it won't change anything. Companies have, do and will continue to run over people because the vast majority of people simply do not care.

The effort changed what needed to be changed. I really don't know what you would consider a "win" but it was a win for the effected artist.
