I know this is totally out-of-topic, but my wife told me just now this news that Odex, a local Anime distributor actually went around suing the illegal downloaders (including a 9 years old child).
You can see more details about the Odex and their legal actions from here : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odex What I am curious is: Odex claimed that they can track down the downloaders who are using BitTorrent for download. I wonder how much truth is it in their so-called evidence, or is it just a "scare tactics" to get the downloader to admit themselves ? How can they really proven that the person has actually downloaded the full content ? does owning 50% of the fragments of the file illegal ? 60% ? ... 90% ? >From my limited understanding of IP (internet protocol) and BitTorrent, I believe there must be many ways that you can use Linux to make the "evidence" irrelevant. Well, that is provided that these people are using Linux, of course :) Regards, T J -- Chng Tiak-Jung email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
