Either way, no matter what happens to MU, someone else will step in, and if the business model that the owner was talking about works, it will eventually happen. The RIAA is going to die either way.
The feds arean't in the business of making smooth transitions for customers when taking down businesses. If the dry cleaner you were using was shut down for selling drugs out the back door, do you think the feds are going to be too concerned with the pants you dropped off 30 minutes before the raid?

Yes, they should return your property as it had nothing to do with the crime at hand, but they arean't in the dry cleaning business. Their in the law enforcement business.
