I've been reading lots and lots and lots of blogs and forum all
these time.
And now I am wondering, how does Odex actually tracks people?
There has been instances of people getting fined for incomplete
torrents, like they download till 85%, then they delete away, and
they got fined for the episode they did not download finish. This
makes me come to the conclusion that Odex is not doing packet
scanning. We all know how Bittorrent works, random bits and bytes
are downloaded and pieced together like a puzzle. And if they are
using packet scanning to track people down, the bits and bytes
coming in and out would be worthless data anyway.
So my speculation would be they are camping on torrents, grab a few
random IP Address, then complain to the ISP.
Of course, another way would be monitoring the traffic, which I
doubt the ISP let them do so generously, as many other confidential
data are also at risk. And they would lose too many customers if
too many people are caught.
What do you think?
