[e-privacy] le notifiche DMCA sono prive di fondamento

Come vado raccontando anche io a proposito di sorveglianza nelle reti
p2p, anche Torrentfreak racconta che le tecniche usate non sono solo
invadenti, ma fondamentalmente fallaci e fasulle:

Anti-Piracy Outfits Demand Cash Without Proof

[...] While the evidence gathering techniques differ from agency to
agency, they all have one thing in common. None of them can provide
proof that the account holder has actually committed copyright
infringement. In fact, some anti-piracy outfits cannot even prove that
the IP-address they have on file was used in an actual file transfer,
although they claim otherwise.
[...]
The process used by VPA and others is simple. Their software monitors
BitTorrent swarms and other file-sharing networks and records the
IP-addresses of those people who share their clients' copyright works.
It then automatically sends an email to the ISP linked to the IP-address
with a request to forward it to the associated customer.
[...]
As outlined in an elaborate article posted on on Freedom to Tinker
earlier this week, the VPA does not verify whether the IP-address is
actually uploading or downloading content. They simply take it from the
swarm list reported by the tracker.

This is wrong for several reasons. [...]
