This wouldn't be a civil lawsuit by copyright holders but a federal case. Which opens with a raid. The FBI swoops in and grabs all associated computers *first*. They're evidence in an investigation, after all. That's their MO. They've done it before.

Besides, there is the *willful infringement* aspect.
The Senator is giving him fair warning that if he doesn't shut down the copyrighted serving, his *entire* operation will be shut down. Not just the "emergency library". And *he* will have to fight to get anything back online.

With the Senate having spoken, no court this side of the nutty ninth would rule for him. He has to be delusional to think he can fight (or even afford to fight) the FBI. The cost onus is now on him and his supporters.
