How soon after these assholes get their hands on someone’s IP address and ID do they start suing? Do these assholes focus on the big players? How many of these lawsuits are there out there?

These guys operated a warez site. They weren’t exactly your average p2p users. These kinds of busts aren’t that surprising.

Exactly……when u have an FTP site with tens of thousands of files and who knows how many members somebody’s bound to find out sooner or later.

Remember when one of my friends set up his own FTP server for Dreamcast games his ISP wasn’t impressed with the 80 gig a day uploads. They canceled his service and banned him for life. This was back in 2002. Back then no one even thought about getting busted by the police granted no one really gave a damn about IRC FTP and the like. Interesting how things have shifted.

Yep. Even “private” sites can be damn shady these days. All it takes is one member going around the net openly bragging about all the goods. I always smirk when seeing a user put up a disclaimer aimed at copyright holders or law enforcement. I don’t think the whole “delete within 24hrs” counts for many brownie points in court lol.
