I am not a lawyer and I don’t defend what Shein has done, but racketeering seems like the wrong description for this? Maybe the plaintiffs are really stretching for a legal theory bc what shein has done is not illegal, even if it is wrong?
My understanding is that racketeering is an organised scheme to violate the law in way to create a profit. Which would be an accurate description of systematically mining the Internet for IP to violate.
