ILX magic players, how do you feel about WotC sending literal Pinkertons to harass somebody at their home because they accidentally received cards before release date and made a youtube about it?

they've been weird about spoilers for a while. I remember back in like 2002-2004 this dude on a forum named "rancored_elf" would post spoilers as apparently he had an inside man. WoTC wound up suing him into oblivion and basically ruining his life. I remember him being like "they could've just asked me to stop"

iirc it ended ok for him but apparently they really brought out the heavy artilery
