    Movie production company Capstone Studios has obtained a DMCA subpoena
    that requires Internet provider CenturyLink to identify 150 alleged
    BitTorrent pirates. The targeted IP-addresses are suspected of sharing a
    copy of the movie "Fall". While the DMCA shortcut is not undisputed, it appears to be rather effective, at least for now.

    Tracking BitTorrent pirates isnrCOt all that hard since IP addresses are broadcasted publicly. With help from Internet providers, these addresses
    can then be linked to an account holder.
