The bit about tracking uploads from the IP address is nonsense. I
think someone is conning DL into paying for a service that would not
work unless every Internet user was on a static address.

It works when done in conjunction with information from the ISP on which
subscriber had the lease to that IP address on that date and at that time.

As long as someone hasn't cloned their cable modem MAC.
Or used an open wireless connection.

or used an ip scrambling programme or infected the machine with a virus the
list is endless

DL are just relying on the fact people will roll over and pay because they may
have visited other sites that they may not want others to know about

DL have not won any case yet that has been defended in the uk


They also forget that in many homes thier are several computers and 'toys' that
can connect to the net through a router , the isp ip will only log the modem it
will not log the computers attached
