Let's say these film studios DO get 'permission' or 'access' of these IPs. Haven't we already proven in the court of law that IP Address does not equal a person? How come that is? Well, it's because people can hide under VPNs, they could use proxies, they could use open wi-fi, they can change their address by ISP request .etc

They aren't assigned permanent IPs and they aren't tied to their IPs through identity.

This whole effort is just a waste of their time, proving once again, that they're desperate for anything.

On the other hand, the r/piracy subreddit is full of entitled jackasses who pick you apart for stupid arbitrary reasons. I've posted news posts on there before as a means to inform the pirating community as to what to look for in case things could go wrong in the future, as a lead. And any time, people kept commenting like "WHUT DUS DIS HAVE TU DU WITH PIWACY?!" every fucking time.

I'd spell it out for them, I get downvoted, I get my post reported and it's removed. Seriously, fuck all of those e-begging pieces of shit.

Maybe I am wrong but it seems like some of y’all aren’t reading the article. They aren’t going after IP’s in order to identify the individuals. They are trying to prove that frontier is not being proactive in their efforts to prevent piracy. The IP’s are to prove that it is going through frontier. Reddit->Frontier->Pirated content.

I am not saying I am ok with that, because I’m not, but what many of y’all are describing is happening is not exactly what is happening here.

Buddy, go bitch at the author who wrote the article that plastered all over what we're responding about.

And my point still stands - they CAN'T prove that those IP addresses would be from frontier. It's a huge whack a mole game they're getting themselves into.

Umm. Yes they can. Quite easily. As Frontier would have been assigned those IPs as a static set.
