Biggest BitTorrent Downloading Case in U.S. History Targets 23,000 Defendants
 
Quote:

At least 23,000 file sharers soon will likely get notified they are being sued for downloading the Expendables in what has become the single largest illegal-BitTorrent-downloading case in U.S. history.

A federal judge in the case has agreed to allow the U.S. Copyright Group to subpoena internet service providers to find out the identity of everybody who had illegally downloaded (.pdf) the 2010 Sylvester Stallone flick — meaning the number of defendants is likely to dramatically increase as new purloiners are discovered. Once an ISP gets the subpoena, it usually notifies the account holder that his or her subscriber information is being turned over to the Copyright Group, which last year pioneered the practice of suing BitTorrent downloaders in the United States.

Subpoenas are expected to go out this week.

Anyone who willingly downloaded Expendables in the first place is just begging for severe, harsh punishment.

I went to the theater to watch it, fucking horrible. Good thing I had a bottle of Bourbon in my woman's purse.

Glad I've stayed away from torrents and my internet is locked up tight.

I can't wait to get my letter. I think I'll go download it again...

Just because they know who pays for an IP, doesn't mean they can prove who actually downloaded the video.

I use Torrents all the time.
