assuming the validity of the search engine, this search engine is probably one of the best assets a malicious hacker could ever hope for >o). Not only are there address for areas in which people live, but now there are IP addresses of people who will forever be scared to use the internet (but will probably still do so for things like email,homework, and research).
on another note, the subpoenas also give insight into the monitoring habits of the RIAA. In the 120+ subpoenas i've examined (via this site) every one had a download time stamp between 3am and 1am. perhaps there is a window on opportunity in those 2 short hours, or maybe there arent any worthy users to persue during those hours. Of course the 75 subpoenas being sent out each dy would depricate or abolish the significance of thes two hours and reduce it down to 1 or none.
I was also thinking that the RIAA has to verify that the song is authentic. perhaps hashcode comparison? (to which variable bitrates and encoding schemes would hamper thier efforts) if they are manually verified then they must have the largest collection of pirated music in the world. =P
i can't wait to read about the first case of someone suing the RIAA for giving them a nervous breakdown from the scare they are creating.does anyone else see the similarities between: a thousand monkeys at a thousand typewriters and the RIAA?
