Maybe their agreement allows them to act as an "enforcement arm" of the agents?

What I find interesting is the choice to threatening them rather than just sending a DMCA takedown to Tumblr. Then again, the people (bots?) sending these emails may have no idea where it's hosted.

I don't think the courts recognize such agreements as valid, as the demise of Righthaven showed.

I'm thinking more of a financial backing of the lawsuit, not as plaintiff. You know, being the Thiel for the agent's Hulk Hogan.
