When Rightscorp is wrong
Earlier today, Rightscorp, one of the companies that live out of spying on the Internet to "protect the artists", outed a press release (1) quite interesting.
They announce a new service called PTP, short for Popcorn Time Protection. It basically is a data-collection service that watches the Bittorrent network in hope to find illegal activities, extract the IP adresses from the swarm, and then try to match the IP to a real person they can sue (or racketeer for a few hundred bucks).
