He bought shares in the infringing company. He went to their headquarters, pretending to be a potential investor. He asked pointed questions about their sustainability practices, their labor conditions. He recorded everything.

He used the company’s data to discover the location of their primary server. After that, his phone suddenly lost all of its photos, and so did the company's.
