请问老师，加粗这里怎么理解？也没先行词，这句子这样就2动词了。

如果在 action 后加个逗号就好理解了。
In fact, the speech on About.com was protected by copyright law, and Calabro might have been liable to legal action, had the Web firm been so inclined.
had the Web firm been so inclined=if the Web firm had been so inclined。过去虚拟语气。
张道真《英语语法大全》上册 425 页：
如果条件状语从句中含有 were, had, should, could，连词有时可以省略，这时条件从句要用倒装语序，即把谓语动词或其中的一部分（如助动词，系动词 be 等）移到主语前面，这种结构主要用于书面语：
Were I (=If I were) in your place, I wouldn't do it.
Had you (=If you had) seen it, you would have believed.
Should anyone (=Suppose anyone should) come, say I am gone.
Were they to get married (=If they were to get married), they would not be happy.
Could they raise sufficient fund, they would start the project.
