Do what you like, but I'm voting no.
My point is if you take the emotion out of this, approach it as a business decision, you will see that taking the money does not diminish your position in the future.
Making a moral point does nothing but leave money on the table.
Take the money, continue to fight (in house union? joined w ASA?) for better rules.
