Asunto: should forfeited game be counted in world chess championship

Kramnik forfeited his 5th game under protest, and FIDE decided to give the point to Topalov, the championship match continue with the score 3-2 for Kramnik, and Kramnik is playing under protest, he threatened to sue the FIDE after the match concluded.
another forfeited world championship game is the famous Fischer vs Spassky in 1972, the match was played also under the FIDE and the forfeited game was counted in Spassky's favour, and Fischer forfeited the 2nd under protest, the only different is Fischer was behind by 1-0.

in my opinion the foefeited game should be counted.
and KRAMNIK'S threaten to sue is very bad for the whole chess world. who is going to be the next sponsor?
