Pubs are hunting down pirates for settlements
Posted on Tuesday, 17 January 2012 by Speed, source: Torrentfreak
You may want to watch out what you download through bittorrent. Or not.
Torrentfreak is reporting that several publishers and distributors in Europe are hunting down alledged pirates through IP addresses found to be downloading their games.
This is a practise CD Project Red stopped not so long ago regarding The Witcher II after finding that IP adresses aren't quite a convincing proof for piracy and preferring their good name not to be torn apart by the gaming community.
Well, several publishers aren't as smart it seems and still send out threatening letters to people who alledgedly have been file-sharing games, asking for up to €800 per downloaded game as "settlement" to get legal cases out of the way.
The list of companies having been found to be sending out such letters include Atari, Square-Enix, Ubisoft, Koch Media, Daedalic Entertainment (for LucasArts), Codemasters, dtp Entertainment and Kalypso Media. And apparently those aren't the only ones, although Koch, Kalypso and dtp seem to be making most of the accusations.
Accusations that quite often just don't hold any ground to be honest:

Accusations that quite often just don't hold any ground to be honest:
As highlighted dozens of times before, companies making these accusations rely on weak IP address-only evidence and use their legal teams to intimidate their targets into paying up – guilty or not.
The bad news is that the above sample is just the tip of the iceberg – dozens of devs and distributors of lesser known games are sending out these letters demanding anything from 300 to more than 1000 euros to make cases go away.
The problem with using IP addresses as "proof" for piracy is that most users don't use their own IP when file-sharing. So while there may indeed be true pirates targeted, more often than not also innocent people suddenly gets such threatening letters sent to them.The bad news is that the above sample is just the tip of the iceberg – dozens of devs and distributors of lesser known games are sending out these letters demanding anything from 300 to more than 1000 euros to make cases go away.
