How Torrent Lawsuit Evidence is Collected.

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.




How are people using bittorrent / Utorrent being tracked for lawsuits? This is how, and it requires nothing more complex than a bittorrent client. Also, why block-lists don’t work at preventing this sort of thing.

There are many people around the world that have received a letter, demanding money because of a bittorrent download. The question that is going through their heads is ‘how did they track me’, with perhaps “how can I prevent them?” To address this, is this video below that should explain these things.

If you’ve been following P2P news in the last few years, you’ll have heard of the UK and USA cases, where people are getting letters from lawyers (First Davenport Lyons, then ACS:law) accusing them of downloading games, music or hardcore pornography. More recently, this has spread to the US, with the US Copyright Group (USCG) targeting thousands.

People who get these letters (whether they did what they are accused of or not) are often left wondering ‘how could they tell it was me?” The short answer is there are many ways to tell, but the simplest one is ‘swarm’ participation.

As this video shows, it’s very easy to detect people using this method, and to save the data for later use.
