The data is garbage, i am sure my IP did not changed and it shows things that I am sure nobody downloaded. I am wondering if the data is just randomly generated or the algorithm is just broken/guessing. You could create some stress for some people if such websites get credibility.

#132An intern once thought it was a good idea to torrent a couple of Game of Thrones episodes using my startup's Digital Ocean box. We found out after Digital Ocean forwarded us an email from HBO (who presumably tracked Digital Ocean down via the IP) that we were engaging in piracy. We sent an email to everyone with access, saying whoever was doing it to stop. Then we got a second email (a final warning). Everyone denied…
I used to work at a ~100 person company that provided satellite equipment, mostly to media companies - radio stations, movie distributors, that type of thing.
A senior customer service rep realized he had VPN access to a customer's, like.. T1 line. He started torrenting movies on it. On the CUSTOMERS network. Our entire company was nearly taken offline and the customer threatened cancelling the entire contract and suing us.
Dude got walked out the next day. A MEDIA company customer.

#133Off topic but this raises a question about iMesssage parsing of URLs. I copied just the base URL (without my IP, so he would get his) and sent this to a friend. The preview in iMessage lists my IP, because iMessage actually visited the link. Does the message he receives show his IP or mine? e: Just tested this, it shows my IP on the receiving end. It appears iMessage creates the preview text on the sender’s side so t…
The web preview in iMessage is performed by each client. So your friend should see their IP in the preview since it's their client making the connection on their end. This is easy to test if you've got another device with iMessage. Take your phone off WiFi and send yourself the link. The device on WiFi should show your home ISP address while the device on cellular should show the cellular provider IP.
Interesting, I didnt realize I could get people their IP by simply sending them my website without them even ever having to visit it themselves

The problem here is not recognizing that the piracy was actually the problem. In what way was it forgivable? Because everybody does it, that makes it okie dokie? Because you don't have a Netflix account? If everyone treated piracy as theft (it is) then no one would have to waste their time investigating it because the collective will would exist to prevent it.
Piracy is copyright infringement. There's no reason to call it theft. They are both bad for society, they are both illegal, but they are distinct.

#135Guess they don't know about private trackers.

It’s not theft. It’s not legal, but it’s not theft. It’s also not a big deal, maybe you disagree with that assessment but it’s how the majority of people feel.

I shouldn't feed the troll, but how can you make a ridiculous assertion and still fail to draw a sound logical conclusion from this new assertion? Unreal
Re: I Know What You Download on BitTorrent
#138Interestingly, I used to download a lot of torrents years ago. When Spotify came along, it dropped at least 80%. Add Netflix and Steam and I haven't used torrents in a very long while actually. Simply because everything I need is available at an affordable price.
However, seeing how many streaming services are popping up lately, each with their own specialty and each wanting my money, (and seeing how crappy free Youtube is becoming) I feel more and more like coming back to my old habits . . .

#139Uh Oh looks like one of Trump's interns is using cracked software and pirating movies
Re: I Know What You Download on BitTorrent
#140This kind of thing is already done heavily by content rights-holders. If you torrent movies or games in Canada without a VPN, you will get nastygrams in your email from the rights-holders via your ISP. They're legally required to do so AFAIK, because even consumer-oriented ISPs that are very privacy driven also forward on those letters. Apparently if you don't reply to those emails you're fine, because they can't esc…
What, you only get emails ? In Germany you straight up get snail mails from lawyers demanding you to pay for the damages. But in Germany the only real bad thing is uploading, downloading by itself is more of a grey thing.
Canada currently uses a "notice and notice regime" [0], meaning the rights holder notifies the ISP, who turns around and forwards the notice to the infringing customer, but does not give the rights holder the account information, nor do they take any punitive action towards the customer.
However, the ISP must retain historical data on these notices, so if in the future the laws change, rights holders could in theory request information on past notices and go after subscribers once they have their personal information.
so yeah, don't pirate stuff...
