This is why some trackers don’t allow mainstream films. I came across one that only accepts unsubtitled 1930s and 40s Soviet Union cinema. If you upload anything else, you get banned. :O)

The plaintiff believes that information obtained in discovery will lead to the identification of each of the defendant's true name.

Bwahahahahahahahahahahaaaa. Wheeeezeeee. Cough. Hahahahahhahahahahahaha.

I've run networks for years, and getting an IP address back to my physical location or name would require MUCH more than a movie is worth.

I'm not advocating or approving stealing intellectual property. You want to watch a movie, buy it or rent it.

But the naiveté of that statement just made the old hacker in me laugh.

It’s about time free movie downloaders get sued.

There’s a reason the rest of us watch through Netflix, Hulu, etc. It’s the legal, justifiable way to do so.

I’m on Hollywood’s side with this: even if it’s a Michael Moore crock-umentary that is being swiped.

....well, maybe I would make an exception there....

HMM this should be interesting to see how they are going to pull this off in the era of DHCP.

MY IP address changes almost daily, depending on if my computer has had an on/off cycle that day or not. Have seen it change multiple times in one hour before when I was having issues with my router - I had to keep releasing and renewing due to the router barfing.

I've often wondered about this.They,it would seem,can prove which IP address the "illegal" download went to but,without an admission,how can they tell what *person* did the downloading? What if it was,say,the 12 year old son/daughter who did it without mom's/dad's knowledge or permission? Or if you live in apartment building what if the people below you stole your internet signal?

Any lawyers/computer geeks out there?
