> Can they sue for damages? And if so who pays?

The entity that they sue pays, if they win.

So, who do you think that they can sue and on what grounds?

The MPAA didn't shut down their company or arrest them and doesn't have the power to decide whether someone else will do those things, so it will be extremely difficult to hold them liable.

Prosecutors and police are almost never liable.
