1. What happens if a second person starts downloading the file within seconds of it's upload and then finishes the download before this system polls the network? Will they be able to tell the difference between the two people?

2. That previous "magic bullet" post may very well be legit. A client sitting on any p2p network generating chunks with matching checksums of legitimate files being shared could easily reak massive amount of havok on the network, and that's my guess as to what they would do.

As for this, eh, it's a bit weird. Major release groups don't release to p2p networks, so they wouldn't be busting anyone "important". Only losers and morons use p2p usually since it's so insecure and riddled with miscreants. If it's easy, it will be flocked to by the masses, made idiotic and nearly useless, and abandoned by the large piracy groups.

/note I am not, nor have I ever been, a member of such a group... I've simply been around a very long time and know how these things work

3. I have a question, Have you ever downloaded a movie with a title that appears to be what you are looking for, and when its finished.. it ends up being porn? Well, what if the same was applied to revenge of the sith downloads? How can one be sued if the evidence is only a text log? what if it was porn and fox copyright compliance is not aware of this, and they assume you have it based on the text evidence. You see, it is not clear evidence.

Any ideas on this?
