BitTorrent users being logged

Have you used an BitTorrent before to download music or movies? If so there a chance in under three hours you will be logged onto a ''blacklist'' by a monitoring firm. But why is this happing? Well... copyright holders hope to use the date to crack down on illegal downloads. But as you can tell not everyone is please about the news.

A part from the fact that your being logged in everytime and that you have no privacy. The logging can not tell if your a hardcore illegal downloader or just a frist time illegal downloader. And you don't get any brownie points for downloading something that came out during the 70's. The fact that you download something for free is illegal. And now with the help of this ''blacklist'' you will be found out.

Most copyright owners in Europe and the USA are using IP addresses and other types of data to use in court. But most lawyers say the data will be useless as there still can't tell address pinpoints the internet connection used for downloading the illegal contect. Many fear that soon companys will be monitoring there internet without a court order. But for now it's not the case. Not now it is... unlike the BitTorrent users being logged.
