I am not sure I would feel good about jumping on the bandwagon with a reformed extortionist.

Payartists, sent legal threats to people accused of copyright infringement, though they didn’t represent any actual artists (the closest they came was in representing Frank Zappa’s widow).

Sounds like they were actually in the business of sending illegal threats. Since, you know, they didn’t have standing for anything. Companies and people doing such extortion need to be manually dismantled. With some kind of machine.
