The lawyers and their families have done nothing illegal, unlike the IA who very well might have after being blinded by ideology. If the IA broke the law, or violated IP, copyright, etc than why should they not be taken to court?
IMHO, publicly accessible archives can uplift large groups of the disadvantaged. Attacking them is equivalent to cutting public services for the poor.
I don't want the IA lost, but they are the ones responsible for their current legal situation.
Fwiw I wouldn't target the family of the police either, I think this targeting of innocent uninvolved people is sick.
Unfortunately, it is a response that we, collectively, mostly do accept.
We shouldn't, and occasionally we don't, but...
