First we have the disassembly of an FBI GPS tracker.

Next a copyright troll company called Nu Image Inc thinks they can sue 23,000 people at once.

I expect them to be counter sued by the defendants and become a new target for anonymous before folding.
Glad i don't use bittorent anymore... it's as tainted as gnutella and share P2Ps

I use bitcomet. Is uTorrent better or are they about the same?

Lol @ caps, i have comcast and people say there's a 250 gb a month cap ...
Thats news to me, i average 900gb a month, spike to 1.1-1.3tbs occasionally for more than a year now and never heard a single complaint from them ...
edit: ah different kind of cap, but whatever, if it became a problem id just use a seedbox for my torrents.

Yeah... there is a 250gb cap but they don't really do anything if you go over. I was over by 100gb last month :) The funny part is that they say their average users only use around 6gbs each month which i call bullshit on!

They can try but they won't get jack shit it's almost impossible to prove IP are dynamically allocated and someone else could have downloaded that stuff.
Besides they are not the FBI just some troll company so if I got anything from them I'd counter sue for defamation etcI'd likely get in contact with all the others who have been sued and we'll all sue the company at once and it'll collapse under the strain of such an assault.
Heck I might even do various troll stuff back to them.
Maybe even something involving a manure spreader.
Technically they're even less powerful then the local City hall which this guy literally shit on.
Now you can't do that to the FBI as they'll probably kill you and say they thought it was a truck bomb.
Really I'm surprised the dime a dozen copyright whore story got so much attention while my FBI tracking device story along with their abuse of them has not.

Will the FBI are douchbags, we are all not really surpise on them tracking, after what they did /b/

ISPs keep track of who had which IP and when.
If the FBI pays a visit to ISP X and wants to know who had IP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx at 13:37 on the 8th of May, 2011, ISP X can theoretically give the information out. That is, if you're not lucky enough to have an ISP like Bahnhof :P
What is almost impossible to prove is that the person whos name is on the bill is the person who committed the offence. Not because the IP is dynamic, but because the IP doesn't necessarily identify a person.

Sauce on the back story and how ifixit got their hands on one.

I would have done much more then simply tore it down I would have tried to see what kind of data it transmitted etc.

The thing is both WEP and WPA are easily cracked which gives plausible deniability ISP records themselves are not exactly secure either.
It would be easy enough for said scumbag to have hired a blackhat with no scruples to mess with the logs.
Most even outright thieves draw the line at doing anything to help the copyright whores.
Still I think it would be fun to meet the CEO of this company in an alley somewhere.
I tend to be very paranoid online and use a lot of block lists, proxies etc.

Government doesn't give a shit about the animus. Plus I don't download Hollywood films nor music from the RIAA, which is what most of these types of things are used for.

I just rent and rip Netflix for Hollywood crap.

I use the instant stream for Netflix. If it's DVD only then I just forget about it and look for something else.

Ehmm...
"What is almost impossible to prove is that the person whos name is on the bill is the person who committed the offence. Not because the IP is dynamic, but because the IP doesn't necessarily identify a person."
Even if you're not running a WLAN, a LAN can comprise computers belonging to several people. What use do you have of WPA & WEP being easily cracked then?

Really now. If you are going to go so far as to commit a felony, then why not save yourself the jailtime and use a VPN?
