Dude quit arguing just to argue...LOL and actualy read what people post.
If you did you would see these words....
CONSIDERED and MIGHT
At the very least he's taking a chance...who cares if his Dutch lawyers tell him it's okay...if he does it to an American based company and they press charges how much do you want to bet Interpol will go and arrest his ass and turn him over to American Authorities...and if you think they won't do that...then think again...look at how many other european countries have worked with the FBI and Interpol in tracking down other hackers.
If this were being done to my website all I know is I would be on the phone with the FBI and let them handle it how they see fit...but then again I'm not a spammer or a cheater so no need to worry ;)

Sure it's a copyright violation and an intellectual property rights violation but damn...do you honestly think the hun suffered from this?
I'm not saying he shouldn't protect what is his but there is no real cause to possibly put your own self into legal jeopardy here.
And for those who compare this to acting out revenge on a child molester...man you need to get your priorities straightened out.
