I've seen the exact same type of attacks on AK in his thread. It was always a last attempt. Why would they need to upload themselves? There is an abundance of it uploaded already, and every day.

They did it to obtain IP addresses obviously. They then used the IP addresses to obtain identities which is why AT&T etc were brought in because they began refusing the requests. They were targeting viewers not uploaders. "Pay our ransom or we will let everyone know what porn you look at." essentially. The music industry tried it and received a serious backlash, you would think they would have learned from their mistake.
