Once you have their IP addresses you can make them serve anything you want. Set your imagination free.

For starters: copyright-infringing material.

Unless you hold the necessary rights to the copyrighted material, that would make you a copyright infringer yourself.

Presumably they'll tell the copyright holder that sue them where they got it from, and provide evidence for that, and then the copyright holders will (also) sue the original source.
