Supposing I'm Fred The Fed and I want to shut down Hexbear.net

What if I try to make a case that admins tolerate sharing copyrighted material in violation of Statute XYZ, so the site is illegal and should be seized.

You might say, "Copyright laws are dumb, man! Who cares!" but that doesn't matter. Tell that to the law.

Should we get a lawyer's advice on this? What steps does the site need to take to avoid heat?

This is my point. It's fine to say that, but that sort of point isn't gonna count for anything if they decide to come after you.
