This is why cases like these need to be decided in a true adversarial court hearing where both sides get to have their say.
I gathered that its legality wasn't exactly established even there as the owners have declined to defend anything by scattering around the world to avoid legal actions... not being finally found illegal doesn't mean legal, just means decision pending...
