You'll probably need in addition some signature and algorithm to distinguish between different type of content, but this is probably doable for unencrypted content. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_packet_inspection http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_packet_inspection
- michaelt 12y agoIt's easy for the hollywood copyright holders to just load the .torrent/magnet link into a bittorrent client and look at the list of peers.

Then just IP address -> Court order -> ISP -> Your home address and send the threatening letter.
