IP-Addresses of the Canadian Hurt locker ‘Victims’

hurt lockerEarlier this month we reported that The Hurt Locker lawsuits hit Canada as well.

Three Canadian ISPs have been ordered by a court to hand over the personal details of their subscribers to Voltage Pictures.

However, unlike in the United States where tenst of thousands of downloaders were targeted, the Canadian case only covers 30 IP-addresses for now.

Or we should say 29, as the list that was cent to Cogeco includes 2 identical IP-addresses.

If none of the subscribers connected to the IPs appeals the Judge’s decision, their personal information will be handed over by their Internet providers.

* 10 Bell IPs
* 10 Cogeco IPs
* 10 Videotron IPs
