thanks for the tip
What we are doing is different. We are actually downloading our own content from the torrents, and recording who served it to us. That proves they both downloaded, and are resharing our files illegally.
The system also does lots of other things to eliminate false positives, and every ip generated is reviewed by hand before anything is done. They've done their homework and learned from other's previous mistakes.
