In a recent conversation about piracy and whether it could win, we
concluded the primary vulnerability of BitTorrent was
its susceptibility to copyright enforcers just connecting to everybody
in a swarm, downloading one block, and automatically sending out a
takedown notice to the owner of that IP. This in theory could be
"scaled up" incredibly easily to effectively monitor and police all
the top torrents out there. The only defense Bittorrent has is the
"blocklist", which if I understand
this is not "in theory", we practically showed it can be done without
any dedicated infrastructure support

Amusingly, by doing so, we identified tons of spying entities (see
section 4 of this paper http://hal.inria.fr/inria-00470324/en/)
Best,
Arnaud.
