That's really key to all this. If the ISP can't identify what the customer was downloading, how can the rights holders claim it was their material?
Because they (have already) set up honey-traps that participate in the torrent swarms.
That will only get the the uploaders, but they only _need_ to get the uploaders to impair the efficacy of the swarm.
Does anyone have any good data on how Rights Holders are / will be gathering this information? You mention setting up a honeypot and participating in the swarm to gather seeder IPs, however based on my investigations of the torrent protocol you can simply request a list of peer IPs from the tracker without even participating in the swarm... or do the rights holders deem this insufficient proof? Just out of curiosity, really, if anyone has some solid info. -- -Michael Fincham System Administrator, Unleash www.unleash.co.nz Phone: 0800 750 250
