they used the same stat method that people prosecuting filesharer they connected to the swarm and logged the ip address as a count.

they subscribed to all the rss feeds from portal pages

if those numbers are inaccurate in means every filesharing case ever is total BS too.


as for already paid for not sure

we didn't outlaw the VCR just because people can daisy chain them together and make bootleg copies of movies

they went after the infringer only.
