Re: How? they hire a watchdog firm to place a copy of the film in a torrent client and track the IP address's that connect to request it. The watchdog firm OFC does not upload any data, and has permission to download it. Anybody that runs torrents should have an updated blocklist, and that usually includes the IP address's of these watchdog firms. They are questionable anyway because they can prove you have a complete copy, they can only prove that your torrent client connected to them, looking for information about this torrent. |

| Doesn't sound like that could be legal for a court case. So if you tried to download it from them it wouldnt even actually download how can the prove you got it? |

If they don't upload any info then there can be no download. Also, if they have permission to upload the file to a filesharing service (where it's reasonable to expect the file to be downloaded)...
I don't see how this can be the basis for civil action. They know for sure the file was not downloaded (because they didn't upload it), and the uploader has permission to upload it to a known distribution channel. |

Isn't this actually entrapment?
Also, isn't this akin to drug busts using 3rd party (non-police) to set up the sale, instead of undercover police? Isn't that illegal, also?
Or does this fall under the category of 'civil law,' or 'we win because we have more money.'
In the US, civil law should be called civil 'lawl' because it's such a joke. It's not whoever has the best case, its whoever has the most money.

I don't really know about that. Don't t hey arrest child molesters on Dateline NBC by baiting them with a girl of legal age who pretends to be a minor?
I hope that the actual law doesn't allow them to prosecute someone simply for connecting but the law is s strange animal. |
