Anything that exposes the rampant hypocrisy of big media, I'm for in principle.
Also, reading through the first several child comments, I'm struck by the thought: A legitimate lawsuit (edit: or criminal prosecution, as the case may be) as parody. If that's what they're after (at least, in part), that's brilliant.
(Edit: That would be separate from the defense of parody directly described. As I read it, if this organization can copy TPB code for use in a site opposing TPB and contrary to TPB's moral sentiment, then examples of parody that do the same or similar things in other contexts should also be permissible/legal. And this circumstance would also potentially bolster current and/or proposed law that codifies this.)
Part of the longer term goal in all this is education. As people -- the public -- become more aware of and informed about how they are being screwed, pressure will build to correct, or at least improve, the underlying circumstances.
The ACTA protests, for example, did not happen in isolation.
