I tried it, and it doesn't appear to be able to track private or in my case, semi-private sites. I have something going from Demonoid right now, and it said I was in the clear.
Unless perhaps they are using some sort of javascript trick to get some of their information - I didn't bother allowing it in NoScript.

Distributed Hash Table technology should allow for unique machine identification. I don't know if the developers are employing it in their data collection events, but it should be possible to get very close to the actual torrent participant.
There is however, always room for error where man is involved. I think they should add that line to their removal request notification speech.

They aren't, and they are extremely off in their detection. Embarrassingly off!  Their lack of basic understanding of how IP addresses are handed out makes them look all kinds of amateur. |

It does at least emphasize the futility of trying to identify copyright infringers by their IP address. Their methods of detection are as flawed as those most of the anti-piracy organizations are using.

Downloaders should not use U-Verse. With U-Verse you can not change your IP address. Downloaders who can not change their IP address get angry. When they get angry, accidents happen. When accidents happen they need an eye patch. An eye patch reminds them of Pirates of The Caribbean. They want to download it but they have U-Verse and again they get angry. Accidents happen when they are angry and now are reminded of the movie Misery..... |
