Quote:That's right ? the biggest swerve ever. I, WDF, work for the anti-piracy people! UT was set up for a number of reasons. But mostly to be a sounding board, proof of concept ... and to collect data. I collected info on file hosts, web hosts, websites. I suckered shitloads of you.
"False pretenses" and "suckering" the people... why do I believe that would be cause for any and all info collected to be null and void in a court of law?
I don't know the law but to me it seems what they did would be illegal. Like some form of entrapment.
Not much anyone is going to really be doing anyway most of the lawsuit crap from RIAA and MPAA have been dropped, might get a warning from their ISP? and i guarantee you in doing what he did there's at least 1 very very talented black hat he pissed off that will be in pursuit, I don't think we will be hearing much from him anytime soon.

From what I gathered from the other sites, his info has already been gathered and pictures of him posted and etc. I didn't care to pay attention to it and I don't know if it was a troll but... ya people seem to already be active about this kinda thing...

Yeah no matter what nothing is 100% safe. It's a lot like the drug trade. You gotta watch who you associate and who you deal with. Always figure somebody is just waiting to sell you out for money or to cover their own asses. This is a novel idea though them buying someone out rather than suing them. Bet this idea will work for them. A lot of people need money these days.
