Not to nitpick. But wasn't the operation actually named "Payback is a bitch" ?

While I absolutely don't endorse free for all when it comes to copyright(ed) works I'd be hard pressed to feel sorry for Mr. Crossley, which, if I'm correctly informed, made his email stash and those 4000 email addresses (with the list of porn titles, they are accused of sharing illegally) freely available on his web server as a zip file upon restoring it from 4chans DDOS attack.

A public tarring and feathering seems in order in this case.
