How Mass BitTorrent Lawsuits Turn Low-Budget Movies Into Big Bucks

Can't wait for US courts to figure out that IP addresses aren't people. http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2011/02/court-confir...

If you are suing 5000 people could they not pool up resources and get a good legal team? I think this might play against the studios in this case, it's large enough that it might start getting real media attention and maybe just maybe some senators would see this a vote grabbing opportunity.

This is like the RIAA asking LimeWire for $75 Trillion.

Where is wired getting the list of IP addresses they're using for their "IP detective" app?

EDIT: Oh, it's from this PDF:

Interesting concept, more of a PR ploy probably. Actually this is a good thing, will show the ridiculousness of such tactics.

On another note, "Openmind Solutions Does 1-2925" would make an interesting adult film title.

This is not real. This is another April Fool's Joke.
