Hurt Locker lawsuit targets a record-breaking 24,583 IP addresses
It's been almost a year since the producers of The Hurt Locker filed a
lawsuit against 5,000 alleged pirates suspected of distributing the film
via BitTorrent. Now Voltage Pictures has updated its complaint, adding
almost 20,000 IP addresses to the list of defendants. That makes it the
largest file-sharing lawsuit of all time -- a crown previously held by the
company behind The Expendables, according to Wired. The plaintiff has
already reached agreements with Charter and Verizon to identify individual
users, but no such deal with Comcast, who owns nearly half the supposedly
infringing addresses. Linking those addresses with user accounts would let
Voltage manage individual settlements -- probably somewhere between
$1,000-$2,000 -- rather than continue legal action. All of this eerily
echoes the Oscar-winning film's plot, about an adrenaline junkie who
couldn't resist downloading just one more movie. Or defusing one more
bomb. We're a little fuzzy on the details, but venture into TorrentFreak
to scan for familiar IP addresses. | l*****e
