CCS LABS have been told by the US Copyright Group (Dunlap, Grubb and Weaver’s alternative name) that they can have access to the technology used to test if it can be used as evidence. All the CCS LABS is to provide The US Copyright Group with a case reference number and contact details – to prove they are assisting a recipient of one of Dunlap, Grubb and Weaver’s letters.

If you received a letter contact the CCS LABS now (admin@ccs-labs.com)

@65:

Something you fail to understand, is that by removing “all trackers” from your .torrent file…..you must still “track” the torrent by connecting to the DHT “router” which is either router.bittorrent.com, router.utorrent.com, or another (Azureus has their own DHT network)

Even though you aren’t connected to those trackers you removed, you are STILL connected to the “global” DHT “tracker” – so you are still “trackable” in the end.

With Bittorrent there is no way of “hiding” your IP address due to the way the protocol works…..the only way to sort of do this would be to use a VPN, tunnel or “proxy” of sort…..BUT the tracker (and the peers who connect to it) would still see your “proxy” address, in order to route your file request to.

[...] The latest and most disturbing case is the case of Hurt Locker, a movie that to a big degree has the file sharing community to thanks for it´s big success, but how does the director and company thanks the community they should thank?

The problem is that in America, litigation has become their favourite pastime. People and corporations will sue each other over the most inane things. So it comes as no surprise that there is a fear of being sued. Even if there is no basis for it, the legal costs in defending against it will be just as bad. One way or another Big Business wins again and the average person loses.

People need to learn not to give these MPAA morons any excuse. Don’t buy, don’t rent and don’t download. Once MPAA and their members have no more excuses they will either have to change or die off.
The stuff they produce is plot-less un-entertaining rehashed rubbish. These studios are in billions of dollars in debt. Please don’t give these w@nkers an excuse for a government bail out.

I’ll support any indie film maker running on a shoestring budget and dreams, but not these uninspiring corporate tools.

Unfortunately the movie sucks as much as the campaign.
