Re: No F-ing way!
Cox most likely isn't monitoring every file you send/receive. What is more likely is that the MPAA has its own computers running Gnutella looking for this stuff. The MPAA would then get your IP Address when their computers found what they were looking for on yours. They could then determine your ISP based on your IP address. Recall from the article it was the MPAA that yelled at Cox, and then Cox which yelled at the customer.
Considering the volume of traffic that passes through your average ISP, its highly doubtful that they are monitoring every single packet that goes into and out of your system. |
