Anti-Piracy Group Pirates data

Story here.

To sum it up, a British anti-piracy group International Chamber of Commerce's Commercial Crime Services branch, stole massive amounts of data from Gieschen Consultancy. The ICC-CCS also came out with a similar service to the one provided by Gieschen just a few days after the contract between the two of them expired. The ICC-CCS threatened Gieschen with a lawsuit, however this deserves to be public. How can an organization who tries to stop intellectual property theft have any credibility when they have committed the crime themselves?
