More revelations are coming to light about who is illegally downloaded pirated content via the website YouHaveDownloaded, and this time it appears to be RIAA employees.
YouHaveDownloaded.com maintains a database of downloads via BitTorrent and the IP address associated with each one. Since most Internet users have dynamic IP addresses, which may change at any time, it is likely inaccurate ... [ read the full article ]

Wish Afterdawn would stop putting these news articles up as this site randomly generates info when you put an IP in and doesn't keep any actual records.
IMPORTANT: If you hate Sony for being so corrupt, copy this image into your signature too! |

As said in the article, there certainly are inaccuracies or false positives in case of dynamic IP addresses. However, according to our tests with static IP addresses the service does seem to come up with legit records.

Hypocrisy... that certainly is the word for it. Kind of has a tune of Johann Strauss' "Ode to a Nut Shot" (sounds similar to the Blue Danube Waltz) on heavy rotation, playing in my head.
I suppose these idiots will police their own?

This is simply not true; the website showed a few of my downloaded with 100% accuracy, and what I remember downloading.

I don't know the technical aspects of all this IP stuff, but it shows that I've downloaded things that I've never even heard of.

did you remember to disable DHT in your torrent client? (app). If not, surprised you easy to spot.
As for the article being true or not; there could be hard evidence submitted to the court and the RIAA has enough power to say, "It's not us". But its your location. We seized your computers, the files are there. "It's not us" Okay, the court finds there is not enough evidence to bend the RIAA from their sacred vow, they are dismissed.

A RIAA attorney could come to court, stab the judge, and then place papers that prove he was paid to do it by RIAA on the table, and RIAA would still win the f**king case.

Hopefully, this news will de-legitimize the RIAA and their ilk.
If I were a judge and I heard this, I certainly wouldn't rule in their favor in a P2P suit.
They dug their own grave on this one.....

I downloaded with DHT enabled for a bit...and it recorded everything. I did embellish a it with the 100% accuracy, because there are some things on there that I don't remember downloading.

Keep dreaming bud. The judges and the government are on the side of the RIAA, and homeland security on this one. Judges are politically appointed, they're just as bad as the lawyers trying the cases.
Our legal system is a joke now.

That's right but it wouldn't matter because the connection strength is very weak even when I'm inside my house, never mind outside.
That's besides the point now, because the site now shows I haven't downloaded anything even though it did a few days ago.
May have something to with dynamic IP or whatever but like I said, I'm not familiar with how this all works.
