Sky Broadband / Porn Downloaders

[jonny72]

Apparently the details of over 5,000 Sky Broadband users who have been downloading porn has been leaked;

List is on thepiratebay, tried downloading it but looks like the site is down at the moment.

Anyone on here likely to be on it?

[Samdy Gray]

Nope... I don't have Sky broadband

[Simon Pieman]

Haha ACS:Law being outplayed at their own game.

Upsetting computer hackers with nothing better to do is almost always a bad idea.

That's a corker.  I love the fact that Andrew Crossley from ACS:Law managed to goad the hackers into publishing details held on their Db.

ACS are nowt better than T'Internet clampers and hopefully the publicity surrounding this will encourage Sky and others to drop them like a lead balloon.

It's nothing to do with Sky, or any other ISP, it's the content owners (the porno companies) that use the services of ACS.

Some of the ISP's, including Virgin and some others, have actively fought companies like ACS. But unfortunately the law is in favour of ACS - they apply to the courts with a list of the ip addresses they say have been downloading the content then a court order is issued forcing the ISP to provide names and addresses of the people that were allocated those ip addresses.

thepiratebay is back up, link to the files (thought most have no seeders, maybe they've been blocked / removed);

I've downloaded the mail messages and have been having a read. Some great stuff in there, lots of people associated with ACS are going to be shitting bricks as there is plenty of dodgy bits other than the personal data.

Not sure why they said it was only Sky Broadband customers, I've already found a list of BT / Plusnet customers as an attachment. Best bit is it lists the title of the porno's they were downloading such as "British Granny Fuck 3 & 4", "Gay Bareback Britian Cumfuckers", "Deliveries In The Rear 2" and "My Wifes First Monster Cock 9".

Though the email from the BT Legal department with the attachment is amusing as it says "Please acknowledge safe receipt and that the data will be held securely and shall be used only in accordance with the provisions of the Order". I can see BT getting in some shit as well for sending it as an un-encrypted Excel file.

Stand corrected, very dodgy fellas indeed. 

[jonny72]

See BT are in the shit as well now, probably breach of the Data Protection Act and contempt of court.

What makes me laugh most is that everyone on the lists that comments on it says they didn't download it and are being falsely accused. Maybe that's the case with say 5 percent of them but the rest are guilty as fuck.

All this talk of ip spoofing being to blame is bollocks - you simply can't use ip spoofing with torrents, its impossible as the data would never get to you. If a torrent was being downloaded by a certain ip address, someone was downloading it through the internet connection that was assigned that ip address at the time. Most likely their unemployed boyfriend who has a thing for chubby birds.
