Submission + - Anti-Piracy firm e-mails reveal firm scam (torrentfreak.com) 4

Khyber writes: "A recent DDoS attack against a UK-based anti-pirating firm, known as ACS:Law, has resulted in a large backup archive of the server contents being made available for download, which has been done and is now being hosted by the Pirate Bay. Within this archive are e-mails from Andrew Crossley basically admitting that he is running a scam job, sending out thousands of frivolous legal threats on the premise that a percentage pay up immediately to avoid legal hassles."

Honestly, most Amercians would say "No one don't make a diesel car do they?"

God, I hope not. What the heck does that even mean??

It probably means the same thing as "No one don't make no diesel car, don't they?"

Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

So you redirect a BT client to a "rickroll" whenever it tries to get a list of peers, and this page is never seen by the end user.
You did a great job!
Oh wait...

We reasoned that if you had a lot of mappings, and that a large proportion of those mappings were to a lot of distinct remote hosts, and largely not idle, that you are probably a Torrenter.(...) These scripts output a list of bad MACs, that we then just dropped into a block list in the core switches.

Yeah, that might have been a little more helpful than redirecting a client (which will just use DHT instead to find peers)
