Even the RIAA who's legal tactics are questionable enough at least download 10-30 songs as evidence that the list contains copyrighted works. It is that list that they base their insane $750 per song damages on. <BR/><BR/>Looking at a peer list simply relays info reported to a tracker which unless the MPAA controls the tracker could be anything. Even if they did control the tracker there are so many hacked clients that lie to trackers, superseeding, and many other ways to hide your true IP making that evidence useless.<BR/><BR/>The reason I'm interested is that downloading an entire movie from 1 peer in bittorrent would take a incredibly long time (weeks-months) because they have to share that bandwidth with all the rest of the swarm. Hardly anyone seeds a torrent that long.<BR/><BR/>I really hope the details come out. Thanks for your response Mr B. I guess we'll have to wait to find out the truth.BasicTekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17284960263622420077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15479871.post-1154530402495955612006-08-02T10:53:00.000-04:002006-08-02T10:53:00.000-04:00I would expect this case to be hotly litigated, an...I would expect this case to be hotly litigated, and for all that stuff to come out in the wash.<BR/><BR/>I agree with you that there seems to be a big difference between the MPAA and the RIAA cases in the initial 'investigation', but I don't know enough about the MPAA cases to hazard a guess as to what the MPAA is doing differently.<BR/><BR/>This is just one of many reasons I have decided to open coverage of the Shawn Hogan case.raybeckermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11063235302436280455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15479871.post-1154473580234241082006-08-01T19:06:00.000-04:002006-08-01T19:06:00.000-04:00I've been very curious as to how the MPAA builds c...I've been very curious as to how the MPAA builds cases compared to the RIAA. Fasttrack and bittorrent operate quite differently and I was wondering if anyone had the details on what the MPAA is doing?<BR/><BR/>Some have speculated they have a modified bittorrent client that downloads from one user until file completion and use that as the evidence. Others have stated they only need to download a few fragments and can use a few minutes of a movie as evidence for the case. The latter seems ridiculous to me. It's simply not enough proof of anything. There is no shared folder like in kazaa cases.<BR/><BR/>They never release these details unlike the RIAA.Is it possible they will be known thanks to this case?BasicTekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17284960263622420077noreply@blogger.com
