Phenom II Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 I think, eventually, there are going to become groups of people on maybe VPNs, anything SSL, who completely encrypt and zipped up tightly, passworded and renamed to something innocent.rar and sent ONLY to a trusted IP, who is told via PM or email what the password for the encryption is Making it impossible for anyone other than the two people involved to know what is being transfered.

Why? UseNet and similar systems already provide enough anonymity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boogerjones Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Looks like they took this list over a period of 3-5 days or something... so just bad luck for those depending on what day they downloaded on :laugh: Nope, they go 6 months back from the date of the subpoena since that's the IP address retention log period for most ISPs. The 700 IP's submitted to the court were simply a sample (approx 10 per ISP) to show that they actually had a list. There are 5000 IP's in the Hurt Locker lawsuit and almost 5000 in the Far Cry lawsuit (for which subpoenas were already sent). These are merely test cases to estimate the profitability of sending settlement letters as well as seeing how many people decide to fight it. In the RIAA cases, less than 10 people ended up in court. Greater than 95% of them settled beforehand. And that 95% is the number that these greedy lawyers are hoping for here.The plaintiff's attorney says on their website that they've monitored hundreds of films and basically plan on suing 10's of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of people. The federal judge in the case is going to hear oral arguments on June 30th to decide if the plaintiffs can legally join 5000 people in a single lawsuit in a faraway district. She'll likely conclude that they can. This matter shouldn't be making it to the courts. Congress needs to modify the Copyright Act to fix this extortion scheme.
