Movie production company Capstone Studios has obtained a DMCA subpoena that requires Internet provider CenturyLink to identify 150 alleged BitTorrent pirates. The targeted IP-addresses are suspected of sharing a copy of the movie "Fall". While the DMCA shortcut is not undisputed, it appears to be rather effective, at least for now.
Tracking BitTorrent pirates isn’t all that hard since IP addresses are broadcasted publicly. With help from Internet providers, these addresses can then be linked to an account holder.
