The most interesting part for me: "Furthermore, the defendants leased more than 650,000 Internet Protocol (“IP”) addresses, assigned multiple IP addresses to each datacenter server, and then fraudulently registered those IP addresses to make it appear that that the datacenter servers were residential computers belonging to individual human internet users who were subscribed to various residential internet service providers."

That's... really smart. A lot of companies use services like MaxMind to do this. I wonder how difficult it is to get a GeoIP data correction request approved: https://support.maxmind.com/geoip-data-correction-request/
