I don't know about the FBI, but I can tell you that back in the early days, (circa 1998 or 99) Rick was given a cease and desist order by the NFL due to copywright infringement, youknow, using their logos.
But to be fair they were coming down on everybody else too, like finhaven and Mikebrownsucks.com
They were behind the curve on the internet thing and they knew it.

I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
"Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

That may be the case, that police scoff at it, but restoring the damaging done by nuking a database costs about $1,000 actual real physical dollars. If you were to steal $1,000 or intentionally damage $1,000 in physical property, you'd have felony charges against you (not you, personally, Illu).
So, maybe they don't do anything or snicker at it, but they shouldn't. That's real money. Serious money.

I got threatened with Father Baker's a lot as a kid. I have now pulled the card on my child also. ROFL seeing Father Bakers. I balled my eyes out when that came up a couple times.
"Pack your bags and get in the car. We're taking you to Father Bakers." Never did I straighten up and fly right quicker.

A few years ago, a Canadian teenager, Amanda Todd, killed herself after being harassed and extorted online. A man used flattery to get her to flash her breasts…and then used the photo he took to demand more, backed up by incessant threats online, revealing the photo to Todd’s friends, and promising to make her life hell forever......
Miri rages against the online idiots who insist that internet activity can’t really do psychological harm — they diagnose freely over the internet, and claim that you can’t possibly develop stress disorders from the bullying tactics of the usual slymey suspects — Miri tears that argument up with basic scientific facts from the field of psychology ...
I’m just going to point to Amanda Todd. Her death wasn’t virtual.
I’m also baffled by the reasoning: if it’s not ‘real’, if the only activities that can have a direct effect on someone’s sense of well-being are face-to-face, a punch in the nose, a bomb going off…then what the hell are you doing harassing people on the internet in the first place?......
Just a few thoughts on the question of "how real is the internet"
But to play
that’s the thing
shut up and deal
