So it seems very anonymous, unless they log your IP address. Or unless someone maps the entire Bitcoin network and figures out who owns your bitcoins (very unlikely except for a large government organisation).

Update: okay, it seems they log your IP address:

You can drag a case out for at least 2 years in the US.

If they are indeed monetizing on all that content with no licenses, they’re so in for criminal infringement that it’s not funny and the MPAA should have a much easier case, for much much more damages, specially if the owners have big pockets. Remember Mark Gorton from LimeWire?

I think it was under their radar, until they get to read this article.

They have two different disc vault systems – both house 320 discs, which is a little more than just “one or two discs”. They can also be ‘stacked’ so you can hold 640 or more if you shell out the cash…

Looks like only the Bluray discs need to remain in the system, just to access online content. Once imported, CDs and DVDs can be ejected to make room for more bluray discs if desired.
