They make great claims to scare off the mass of uninformed users but eventually they have never sued anyone. The article lists p2p as being targeted, programs like Kazaa broadcast the file names and id when it is being downloaded, I can imagine the few people left on the kazaa network to being targeted. From what I can understand is that torrent files are shared anonymous, the isp can only track the amount of torrents and traffic but they cannot see what file it is, so it shouldn't be possible for them to prosecute you by that. Still, a black page in the history of digital rights. I am a Dutchy, this government funded anti-piracy program BREIN has always been powerless to prosecute copyright pirates.
