My sense is that this takedown is supposed to send a message to the larger internet media companies. The small ones could be easy pickings, but the big ones like Netflix, Apple and Google are what the entertainment industry really cares about - and as they see their markets being transformed, they will fight with whatever they've got. And one thing they've got is the law and political experience.
They picked on Kim because he's an unlikeable character. He's rich and arrogant, and his alignment with hip hop and youth culture won't win him supporters in DC or in governments.
