This is where they’re spending their money. Not on writers, but on this. No wonder movies are in the state they’re in.

I gotta say, it's working. I pirate a lot less than a few years ago. Not because I'm afraid of getting sued, but because it's all shite not worth pirating nowadays.

Good old movies are still what pirates should go after still.

Hah, yeah. Most of my piracy nowadays is digging up old gems from the past.

Why couldn’t they just subpoena RCN’s logs for this data? Picking a single user and trying to get all their information for an unrelated case is a violation of their rights, unless they’re suing that user individually.

I’m not a lawyer but I hope the judge comes to the same conclusion.

Otherwise, I might sue Walmart and to do so I might need to info of their customers.

The lesson I’ve learned is: brag less, seed more.

Damn shit like this freaks me out I wonder how easy I would be to track down

Didn't they already try this and lost?

E. Ahh I see it's still ongoing. Pretty interesting details.
