Not necessarily, only that starfleet can’t be held liable. But the verdict in Measure of a Man didn’t say Data wasn’t property at all, only that he wasn’t starfleet property. He could possibly still be considered the property of Dr. Noonian Soong, in which case Dr. Soong would be held liable.
That damn verdict only created MORE uncertainty, see?!
Data always limits himself to the rules unless he is specifically told to abandon them.
Want to hire data as my 2s partner.

Pictures Data playing a video game; realizes, “There’s an episode for that!”
Lol - yes! 
I especially love the strategy Data uses at that exact moment - one of the better episodes of the earlier seasons, IMO.
That Data must be Lore. Cause if you watched Star Trek Nemesis you will know Data died.

If you also watched Picard you will also get another Data death scene.

Well he’s not human so. …yes?
Ahhh… The Borg Collective… Always obsessed with perfection, always being amused at the contents of the Minds they assimilate and always so elitist and arrogant.
Don’t assume they lack emotions as they themselves made it clear they have a sense of Humor. They are not Cybermen who suppress their Emotions!
In terms of Cyborg/Robot Armies we have:
He borrowed Pulaski’s term “Bust him up” to describe his Victory. Deanna Troi interpreted to mean “Take the shortest route to victory” when Data asked Troi what the term meant so in Data’s mind he took the shortest route to victory rather than simply win.
Apparently the quickest way to win against Kolrami the grand master of Strategema is to keep him from winning.
The biggest question is whether or not Data is into the wow… “Lore”.
