Microsoft Warning Leaked Code Traders

An anonymous reader writes "Broadand Reports notes that Microsoft is now sending snail mail warnings to downloaders of the leaked source code. They're also apparently working in conjunction with several un-named peer to peer vendors to send out legal warnings to any users who search for the leaked code. The notice on Microsoft's website has been updated to reflect the new warnings."

    "I have the power to track people through P2P, too. I've found people in my apartment complex on the networks. I've even met a few friends that way. Too bad that doesn't mean that I'm a multi-billion dollar company."

    I call bullshit. Unless that is of course you know the IP addresses of the people in your apartment complex and the IP addresses of your friends. I mean, there's a reason the RIAA has to subpoena the other information from the ISPs, if they could do this like you claim to be able to, they could just send them the legal notices directly.

    So please, enlighten us as to how you can track people through P2P.
