Either way it seems like a real breach of privacy for a 3rd party to disclose IP's. Especially shady making that disclosure to a company who's sole purpose is to commit crime.
I've been told that by a few people now. I didn't really stress over it, Oron has blocked a lot of my IPs in the past after sending them shit loads of DMCAs. I just chalked it up to just another shitty day in the business.

However, the GFY/AVN - Uploading.com connection made me think about it for a bit at first. Figured file locker guys talk to each other just as we do. But Theo claims the owner is just a guy from a corporation formation service who was used by both companies, so who knows? But I do know when people are trying to hide who they are and use services like that, it's usually for a reason.
