The person you’re “stealing” from?

You want to give them the power to subpoena, the power to issue search warrants, and while we're at it, the power of pit and gallows?

Or are you trying to make copyright of consumer media unenforcible?

This isn't Billy downloading a movie. (Which is not a criminal offense.) This is two chaps running what is essentially a counterfitting ring. This is a problem for police to solve, not a civil issue.

Did I say any of that? No. I said they should sue them themselves. Use the discovery process like anyone else can.
