The search isn't limited to just the data which that say you have stolen, but are allowed to basically get copies of anything digital you own, even things which have nothing to do with the matter at hand.

It seems to me like these companies were able to use a legal form of intimidation to shut down someone offering a competing technology platform. Not a pirate but a competitor.
