The group in question may have been an LXA chapter in the past, and they may have been disciplined and closed, but the plaintiff lawyer won't care, the families / survivors won't care, and the media won't care.
That last part is the important one. Bad PR is never a good thing - the media won't care whether it's an underground or regular chapter - the name LXA will be spread in a very negative manner.
Gamma, I agree that they are kids, and they shouldn't be punished severly for something like copyright infringement - my concern is the risk management side. The potential civil lawsuits that could stem from an underground chapter will still cost LXA IHQ thousands in legal fees simply to prove they aren't liable.
Then again, even though they are "kids" - they are 18 or so in age - legal adults when it comes to legal matters.
