Not sure how many of you guys torrent things out there.. this is just a heads up as a Public Service Announcement.
Internet service providers and movie publishers are following up on the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) the past few years, most beginning to take more action this year. Some are within negotiations, some have specific policies regarding pirating.
About 2+ weeks or two ago, all people who had torrented a version of the movie "Hurt Locker" have had their IP's requested by Voltage Pictures Inc., and are in the process of getting sued. There's a story here.
They did this by acting as a seed themselves, and logged all the IP's they could see while seeding.
Many ISPs these days have begun taking action, some have a 1 or 3 strike policy.
So watch what you're doing out there.
