As someone who has been the target of an FBI investigation for what was effectively criminal copyright infringement (later arrested and did time in prison), my only takeaway is that this, if anything, should just be a civil suit just like so many other similar cases of copyright issues.
In my personal experience, the priorities of the FBI are typically highly politically motivated. The exceptions are if you’re doing something seriously icky, or doing fraud that deceives people.
For those interested in what’s reported and what actually happens, I’ve made some comments on my case and my experience here: https://prison.josh.mn https://prison.josh.mn

- yreg 11mo agoI don't get it. You are linking an article which just says that you've deleted the original article. Here's your actual account: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45451567 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45451567 edit: apparently also here: https://prison.josh.mn/self https://prison.josh.mn/self The wording of the landing page makes it sound (at least to me!) like the content is no longer there.

- jeanlucas 11mo ago>There's a certain freedom in owning your story publicly. People can't weaponize what you've already made peace with. I think that's what I'm motivated to do here. Really nice. It also builds some credibility currency, the reputation economy is not as punitive in your case as I thought it would be.
