If enough people find it okay to take such extreme measures for mundane, nearly victimless crimes, I hate to think what the future will be like. In the past, hoarding exploits was considered something for the military, for national security, and even there it was a hot debate and controversial and many parties/countries wanted restrictions like time limits until it's reported to the vendor. Entering homes was a thing of warrants because we wanted to limit government overreach. Now it's okay to employ both of these for reading books without permission? If there's one of you then there's probably more. The future is bright.

A Man-in-the-middle attack against a HTTP website to de-anonymize people would not require a 0-day exploit.

I agree that it would be an extreme measure.
