Mostly off-topic, except in regard to a possible defense for Tor relays/users in the event any go that far.
I'm amazed they are able to lodge cases based on what appear to be BT scrapes of BT announcements. Certainly your announcement could be just that, metadata only. And your file could be /dev/zero. And you could be using a client that skipped integrity checks when announcing and serving. All for research and the lol's of course. Have they ever entered court with actual packets served up by the user? Preferably backed by some form of third party chain of evidence? From any network, not just BT? Because if that's not the case and all they're doing is scraping, there would seem to be quite a bit of reasonable doubt available that could help yield an easy out for any defendant. *********************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to majord...@torproject.org with unsubscribe or-talk in the body. http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/
