*How did Malibu Media 100% determine GPS LOCATION of an IP address* *WITHOUT contacting the ISP*?A discussion today on the phone ngs was about copyright infringement and Iwent to look up the fact nobody has ever been successful in a US court casefor torrenting suits - when I ran into this (unsuccessful as usual) case bythe infamous Malibu Media (whose lawyers were previously disbarred).The question I'm asking isn't about the merits of that case itself.It's only about the software they used to geolocate to an address usingonly the IP address and _not_ by contacting the ISP to get that address.How does "Maxmind" software accurately trace IP addresses 100% of the time? "Maxmind geolocation technology which traced Defendant to a location in Miami, FL has always been 100% accurate"How do they 100% geolocate an IP address alone to your unique address?(assuming borders aren't nearby and noting they correlated neighbors)

"wally",...Do not believe the claims a companies sales department makes. After all, they are trying to sell a product (either the software or its results).The answer to your question ? By accessing the database which stores such IP-to-user "translations", which an ISP is legally required to upload its own log in that regard to.And no, your "unique address" doesn't exist. There is something called "dynamic IP adresses". But using the thanwhile IP *plus* time of access a user can again be uniquely identified.... unless you go thru some VPN or similar server thats located outside of a countries legal reach (and doesn't upload its logs). Which ofcourse /should/ make a dent in their "100%" claim. But I'm sure their sales department has got some "thats outside our intended scope" excuse for that.And you do not seem to have much of any problem with that. Than again, although "common sense" is said to be common, it often isn't. :-)Bullshit. The only reason I want to talk to someone...

How did Malibu Media find the exact GPS LOCATION of an IP address 100% of the time WITHOUT contacting the ISP?

You have got to be the most successful troll I have ever seen. I can't even begin to killfile this stuff. But your count group is weird.

I mean, clearly it has nothing to do with satellite navigation, even though the header mentions GPS. That is: IP geolocation has absolutely

*nothing* to do with satellite navigation. Very clever.

Now could you please go away, Arlen? I'm getting sick of deleting your messages, but more than that, the troll feeding frenzy that follows them.

Could y'all please stop fattening this guy up?

If you can't see how your GPS location is part of the upload to Google's database, and which is likely what they're using, then you're an idiot.

But to your point Zaghadka, you're one of the biggest trolls out there. When have _you_ ever added even a single iota of on-topic value Zaghadka? *The answer is you have _never_ added any value, Zaghadka*

Also the answer is you can't ever add any value, Zaghadka.

Want facts?

You posted twice, for example, to this thread, subtracting value each time. Think about that before you claim everyone else is a troll except for you.

Please do not post further to this thread unless you can add topical value.

Goalposts moved. Now it's about Google and not Malibu Media? It's really about satnav and not IP geolocation? Smooth.

Ah, ad hominem insults. The last resort of a troll on the ropes.

Good luck, guy. Please stop nym-shifting so I can properly ignore you.
