So the police (or someone else) defaced the site, before taking it offline. I wonder, if they recorded IP addresses at that time or record IP addresses of visitors currently.
Excuse me, but 'professional' could mean anything. Some people use it to mean that they're following standard industry practices; others use it because they're always dressed in suits. Another definition separates 'professionals' from 'amateurs' in a way that 'professionals' earn their money with their trade, and amateurs are just messing about; there is much jealousie-de-metier here.
This vagueness of the term 'professional' causes me to immediately ask what it really entails if somebody pitches to me that their services are 'professional'.
the original text (see the png of my posting below) says, "gewerbsmaessige Begehung von Urheberrechtsverletzung", so the professional in the torrentfreaks translation refers to earning money.
