Re: Hurt Locker P2P Lawsuit Comes to Canada So I resolved the Bell IP addresses, see bellow. These are how the IP's resolve (Some don't resolve).
What is curious is that this company that is taking people's IP's must be using some sort of commercial app to target the specific city of the person. For example when I try to geo-locate the 70.53.229.233 IP using standard available web apps or demo's of commercial apps, it shows it to be in Terrebone, or Ottawa or Toronto. The filing shows it as Asbestos, Quebec. How did they get that? And with which app? Or did Bell give them that location?
Another curiosity (and this is a big one) arises with the 207.61.47.217 IP. It doesn't resolve to a standard Bell host, but rather a commercial host, 217.canadiens.com. That's right. It belongs to L’Aréna des Canadiens! "Go HABS Go"

Umm... If Racquel wanted to find someone associated with those IP's, I think he may have just found one...

If 217.canadiens.com doesn't resolve, does that mean that the IP is no longer in use?

If this really is accurate, and the Canadiens IP really is part of this Voltage suit, I am going to be deliriously happy. I hope there is no catch, I hope this is true.
This makes for some potentially awesome media coverage. No news company is going to pass over "Habs Stadium Could Be Sued for Hurt Locker Download". That's guaranteed eyeballs, they are going to put that on the nightly news. And the beauty of it is that it perfectly shows to the entire Canadian public how ridiculous the IP=Identity concept is.

| Can you imagine how pissed the Voltage guys have to be right now?
I mean, they randomly pick 30 IPs from all of Quebec, and one of them belongs to a stadium for our national religion.
Which makes me think, didn't they do a simple IP lookup before requesting info on these IPs? I mean, they had this IP before they started the court proceedings and could have looked it up before submitting it to the court. I'd imagine if they knew they were suing for the info on a stadium they would have picked another one of the ten thousand Quebec IPs.
Either they are smarter than I previously thought and this is some kind of scam or pre-meditated setup like others here have suggested. Or Voltage is really incompetent.

Maybe you should tell those torrentfreak people you found Quebec's Iconic hockey league in there which is partially owne3d by Bell Canada and the IP in question sits squarely within the Bell Centre.
And while you are at it, make sure to drop a note to Geist and to the CBC. |

| Already done. |

They must have done some reverse IP lookup (or talked to the providers) to come up with 10 IP addresses for each of the providers.
As for the duplicated address, if it were a DSL dynamic address (and not a cable), then that could have been two separate subscribers. |

Geist already retweeted my mention of this earlier this morning. »j.mp/o2T7AU
I really hope he writes an article on the subject, hopefully for the Toronto Star.

I honestly can't see this happening. For sure it's worth the shot but the owner of this also owned TV stations (KangarooTV, sports only that I think was sold to the NFL, but i'm not 100% sure), music and on and on.
The owner of this IP also filed to support Bell Canada when they purchased CTV and the whole worry of verticle integration came out and exclusive contracts which in turn led to this » CRTC decision on vertical integration 2011-601
This is a good ol boy. I can't see them fighting Bell when they filed in support of Bell.
In my personal belief, this is a setup. |

It is suspicious, and I agree that I can't see them fighting Bell on the privacy part of this. On top of the existing conflicting interests, the subscriber information has already been provided (it was given two weeks after the hearing), and much time remaining for any lawyer to appeal on.
That said, while they might not fight Bell, I don't see why they wouldn't fight Voltage. Accepting liability for everything that everyone in your stadium downloads is ludicrous and is not something any large infrastructure owner would accept.
They HAVE to fight it, acknowledging defeat would just open the floodgates to letting anyone with any copyrights to sue you continually.
In fact, I doubt Voltage would even bother attempting to settle once they see who the owner of that IP is.
Despite this specific case never getting to court, it serves as a great example for those that do. If an IP is at-best no better than a street address, how can you sue someone based only on that evidence?

Note: The duplicated IP has a different GUID.
If that duplicated IP is indeed the same account, then wouldn't it be correct that the log is a snapshot of what the software see within a timeframe? Two snapshots cannot mean the person has downloaded 2 copied of the same movie, so each "copy" is less than 100%.
So how much (percentage) of the actual movie can be downloaded within that time frame?
How much (percentage) of copying the movie can be classified as an infringement? 10%/5%/1%/0.1%?
Did they have witness/log the IP copied all the individual blocks required for that percentage to be infringing?
If not, it could be there is only enough evidence to show the person has at least x% of the file, but not necessarily 100% of the file. Would VOLTAGE accept x% of the damages they claim? |

I can agree with that. Chances are they will send extortion letters to Mom & Pop in Asbestos, Quebec, and never send one to this place.
They can pick and choose who they will try and sue or extort for money. I can't see this one little Canadiens franchise (out of many) and worth hundreds of millions of dollars being intimidated. |

| reply to Ott_Cable
The time stamps of the IP logs do not seem to indicate anything more than a quick snapshot (vs for example a 10 minutes) as they all have different seconds.
Is that sufficient evidence that the person has a significant part of the file? |
