| [BT] DHS RIAA Torrent Lists Published YouHaveDownloaded.com is a gift that keeps on giving
quote:
When the online tool YouHaveDownloaded.com jumped onto the hit parade last week, most people reacted with a kind of cautious paranoia, wondering how much of their BitTorrent use was easily discoverable.
That is, after all, what the site is ostensibly about: using the IP addresses published by BitTorrent users (and the files they’re offering) to collate who is doing what on BitTorrent.
The tool, however, is quickly becoming a source of embarrassment to non-individuals, with TorrentFreak and its friends using the site to expose Torrent usage among organisations like Sony, Universal and Fox.
“After carefully checking all the IP addresses of the RIAA,” TorrentFreak writes, “we found 6 unique addresses where copyright material was shared.” This, the site claims, included the first five seasons of Dexter, an episode of Law and Order, and a pirated audio converter and MP3 tagger." |

| Well, I figure this. People who get busted are found out because they're sharing on torrents and the only way for the RIAA to see that they're sharing is to download the material themselves. So, it's not like they're intentionally pirating material. They're downloading so they can bust people sharing. |
