all the complainant tells your ISP is IP# such-and-such downloaded such-and-such file on this date and time from your system. the ISP knows which customer had whatever IP address on that date and time. the complainant can file charges against your ISP for allowing copyright infringement from their system. so your ISP contacts you and tells you to cut it out or they will cancel your account. the complainant knows who did what from the outside by watching the files that are downloaded and seeing what IP’s are connected to them. the ISP doesnt give out your info as far as i know without a court order. but if you get more complaints then they will cancel your acct.

This is how it works. When you connect to your isp your mac address is logged. A mac address or Media access controll address is a physical address hardcoded into your network card. the mac address is the is included in all framed packets. all isp frame packets with your mac address. monitoring a torrent is not that hard you just download with out sharing. then you use what is already built into tcp/ip once you have the ip address of people you download from call arp. Address resolution proticol which just basically asks your computer for its mac address or any near by routers IE at your isp that respond to all requests and boom you now have a mac address and an ip. so you subpoena the isp for the owner of the mac address because it is leased to their ip address. There is no hiding. There is no safe ranges of ip you can ask the tracker who is downloading what or you can just subpoena the tracker to give all connected ip addresses tied with usernames and look at all files uploaded by the users. Bit torrent is not safe there is no safe untrackable way to torrent the basis of the internet is you request a packet and one is sent back but in order to have a packet sent back you must have a return address our source in the packet you sent simple logic would tell you that you cant hid behind the traffic on torrent trackers forever eventually they will make it though the list of users and you will get a CND or a lawsuit. so fight them legally by donating to orgs that are formed to do so.

@Kiril – Tor operators will likely disagree. They really hate when people channel BT traffic through the network and this behavior is frowned upon.

Oh, and I’m done with Torrentspy. Demonoid FTW. :P

@jadog – I fixed your link. That’s why I put the little buttons on the top of the comment box. It’s amazing how many people mess up the link tag even if the button is there.

[…] Automated Content Policing: A number of new products that promise to spider online catalogs and flag copyrighted content will become vogue for both the discovery of infringing uses and for reporting content and context to refine ad targetting. Google’s deployment of their solution on YouTube should serve to indicate if such systems are currently realistic on a large scale. More aggressive policing could include more honeypots, client-side indexing by trojans and even malicious viruses. […]

Bittorent clients list the downloaders by their ip.
It is amazing that the downloaders / uploaders have never been gone after before by the RAAA with their itimidation tactics.
Just that it was millions of people to go after at one time.
Still if it is intimidation tactics you only have to go after seveal.
Goes to show you how the music industry after abusing both artists and the general public is out of touch with reality sequestering in luxury that it took them this long to even think if this tactic.
Guess they finally had it pointed out to them that there was difffirent p2p file sharing available than Kaaza.
It is always funny to watch the plants on various news shows of the banks and banks of computers with
the experts” manning them.
Nothing but movie sets in essence.
