BitTorrent Tracker Insider Infiltrates Anti-Piracy Lobby — Tue, 27 May 2008 04:53:45 +0000

[...] Posted by Regeneration on May 27th, 2008, 11:01 AM Anti-piracy oufits have gained access to private BitTorrent trackers before, but the opposite has never happened, until now. Over the past few weeks, Unnar Geir, spokesperson of “The Viking Bay”, successfully infiltrated the Icelandic equivalent of the MPAA (SMÁÍS), and gathered some valuable information that the tracker can use in its defense. Unnar first arranged a meeting with Snæbjörn Steingrímsson, the executive of SMÁÍS, about a month ago. He told Snæbjörn that he could provide details about the owners and administrators of the BitTorrent tracker, and said he was willing to testify against them. The sole purpose of the covert-operation was of course to gather information from SMÁÍS on the ongoing investigation on TVB (Icelanders only) and Torrent.is, two Icelandic BitTorrent trackers. “Me and an administrator at TVB were pondering one morning about what Smáis actually got on us, and I had this idea to contact Snæbjörn and set up a meeting,” Unnar explained. To gain the confidence of Snæbjörn and the other investigators, 15 in total, Unnar led them to believe that the TVB staff was threatening him. “I was called in for another meeting and I told him that I had been assaulted because somebody knew I was going to witness against TVB, I made my friend give me some bruises.” Undy told TorrentFreak. The investigators fell for it, and believed that they finally had an insider on their side, so they started to share confidential information. The cover story had worked, and this Friday Unnar was called in for a meeting where they showed 1000 pages of evidence against TVB. In addition they told Unnar that they were plotting a criminal case against the tracker, not a civil case as the one against Istorrent. You can read the entire article at TorrentFreak. [...]

I like this!

Don’t forget the asshole that is doing the work for SMÃÃS, Ãsgeir StefÃ¡n Ãsgeirsson, owner of LjÃ³shraÃ°i and Umbra Systems ( ljoshradi.net , u.is , asgeir.is ).
He was working for them in the large DC++ case, Istorrent case, and now TWB.

He is one looser that has to be stopped in any way possible.

It is a brave lawyer who would take on a community of Internet users. The most extreme ppl just *could* be inclined to mess with your credit rating as the opening to a vengeance strategy.

If I were the SMIS (and the lawyers) I’d tell my bank not to accept a new credit card or mortgage application and to watch for any unusual activity on their bank accounts.
