that's what baffles me. I can't see how data protection act holds any water at all if ISPs can be compelled to reveal what is being shared by who - as it must be carefully looked into I would speculate |
The usual way of finding copyright infringers is to search the p2p networks for specific files and note the IP's of users that they can download the file from. They know from the IP which ISP is being used and get a court order which makes the ISP reveal details of the customer being leased that IP address at the time.
