They weren't even threatened. A lawyer didn't write the email. They just got spooked and decided to quit. You can't fix this problem with anything other than "changing the climate of the music industry" as they wrote in their letter. You're going to need a lot more than a new legal service to fix this.

You can make money, or have an impact, but fuck you if you try to do both. The music industry and the world Hacker News was birthed in are at complete 180 degree odds with each other.
