“The Hurt Locker” Producers are suing 5,000 BitTorrent Users For Millions Of Dollars!

Yikes!
Glad I never downloaded this.

Here's hoping the ISPs don't cave in to pressure.

Though I've never been clear on when ISPs do and don't release information. I mean, what is the situation there?

AFAIK if they are subpoenaed, they have no choice but to comply.

Of course they have a choice. I would give them a list of Chinese IP adresses or something. They server failed and that info is lost, etc.

This is one reason I don't do bit torrents or file sharing.

Good luck with that. It works really well with the RIAA. They found out so very well just how "broke" their defendants were. If I recall correctly, most of the $500,000 fines were settled for 5K, and even then, most of the defendants didn't have the money.

Fuck the RIAA! In the ass! With a big rubber dick!

That tends to get a business shut down and their servers raided and seized for contempt of court.

The awesome thing about Astraweb, a news server I use, is that they delete all logs every two days.

As far as you know.
