The mining was opt-in. Maybe derivatives of Tidbit could be a problem, but there's no evidence at all that Tidbit itself could be a problem.

We don't have all the evidence. We just have Tidbit's claims. Unfortunately, no entity in the Bitcoin industry has proven itself trustworthy, so Tidbit doesn't get the benefit of the doubt. It has to prove it. (Note: it's a civil case, not a criminal case, so it's not a matter of guilt and thus the presumption of innocence doesn't apply.)

Okay, I thought that you could only have subpoenas in criminal cases, but I'm not from a common law country, so this is probably different over here.
