In the Reuters article above it says Atari, Techland and Codemasters. I assume the fourth is Zuxxez Entertainment (makers of Dream Pinball). So who’s the fifth?

Any ideas what games they are targetting? Thanks.

if using a p2p client with forced encryption, can ISP’s only see packet headers? if so, the payload of the packet is hidden. (torrenting freeware FTW).

european law has clarified that IP traffic is personally identifiable information, with this in mind, is the use of sandvine etc. a breach of the Data Protection Act on the part of ISP’s.

ISP’s do not own the network or the traffic. right? just the hardware?

MY POINT: if ISP’s use DPI to identify the payload of a packet, are they breaking the law?

Good luck guys

Playing Devil’s advocate for a second, you could suggest that Mr Coyle is in bed with a software company looking for info on potential sharers of their software.

IP logs and other harvesting techniques may be fallible, but admit your misdemeanours to Mikey boy and he’s got it there in black and white!

What better way to catch people than to offer “free legal advice” in order to gather evidence?

Thanks Ernesto for this important story, and than you Michael Coyle & all at LAWDIT for giving help & hope to all those wrongly accused of filesharing copyrighted materials!
