This is cool and all, but I'm still waiting for the FBI to pivot from investing time into piracy and DDoS-for-hire to website operators who run sites that distribute truly awful media.
I get that there are anti-piracy lobbies. I get that if you piss off enough companies they're going to put heat on you (see: this). But there are dozens of copycats of Ruben Rosales (https://www.justice.gov/usao-az/pr/mexican-national-sentenced-over-34-years-producing-child-pornography-and-cyberstalking https://www.justice.gov/usao-az/pr/mexican-national-sentence...) and they are truly awful people.
