I really try to understand what is new about that?
Isn't this the status quo for years now?.
They wanted to implement at scale warning system that identify alleged pirates through ISPs but failed. Then they now have to sue ISP for refusing to share information about individuals and will have to do this case by case so no large scale automated system. And this is very expensive. If I understand correctly then in such situations the ISPs will not send individual warnings. This means that my ISP can be sued to reveal my identify if I torrented Linux distribution iso files!!

We live in a strange world!

- Etheryte 3y agoSounds like it's time to set up a cron job to torrent and delete Linux ISOs. The more noise, the merrier.
- mvdtnz 3y agoWhat makes you think BREIN would be monitoring the swarms for Linux torrents?

- sandworm101 3y agoBecause they use automated systems that find ridiculous connections. Just look at all the false positives generated in similar areas, all the stupid dmca takedowns for "google.com".

- x3n0ph3n3 3y agoSeems like they don't have any information on torrents from private trackers.
- sumtechguy 3y agoonly sorta right.
- pmontra 3y agoWhat random people with my current temporarily assigned public IP address did download. Unsurprisingly the list is empty because I'm looking at it on my phone on a 4G network. That's going to be interesting with an address on a fiber network of a large operator in a large city.
- banana_giraffe 3y agoFor what it's worth, despite the name, this is torrents their client sees that you've announced interest in any part in. If you feed it the IP of a DHT Crawler, for instance, it will claim to have seen pretty much every torrent ever being shared at that IP.
- 1letterunixname 3y agoCompletely wrong, unfortunately. My lawyers will happily go after any other for-profit shysters who abuse flawed data collected improperly.
