It is my understanding that RHs will be using techniques such as honey-pots, i.e. torrent storage claiming to have all or parts of files that the RH has an interest in and then jumping on anyone that attempts to request a byte-range from their server.
Hmmm. If it doesn't have the file then no infringement has taken place. If it does have the file then either - the site supplying it does not have the rights to it, in which case they are illegally supplying it and that undermines their case; - or the site supplying it does have the rights to is, in which case the downloader is not infringing because the RH has supplied it to them. ??

So, if a client does try to pull from a trojan source, the RH will have evidence of the connection. The only defence being 'I was not using that IP address', which is where the ISP comes in. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Glen Eustace GodZone Internet Services, a division of AGRE Enterprises Ltd.
