  How are they going to distribute something while being anonymous?

    Without even thinking: open source public code repository, p2p networks like torrents.

      You should probably think a little more. Public code repos are not anonymous. And torrents require some form of advertising to even know they exist.

        Public code repos are not anonymous

        They can be. Throwaway account on hosted git service, connected through anonymity service (TOR, VPN…).

        And torrents require some form of advertising

        Many indexers are anonymous, a magnet link on a forum or even a site like lemmy is good enough.

        I’m not going to argue about the semantics of anonymity on the internet. If you want to stay hidden enough to distribute a mod and not be found out who you are, you can do it. Its not that difficult.

  if the law firm found them, they’re not anonymous anymore.

    That just means they weren’t anonymous enough.
