The torrent file contains instructions for identifying the Internet addresses of other BitTorrent users who have the movie, and for downloading the movie from those users. Strike 3 hires forensic investigators to tap into BitTorrent and track the uploading and downloading of the hash files that comprise its copyrighted adult film works.
Using specially designed software and tools, the investigators can ascertain when an IP address is used to download all of the hash files for a complete movie. The investigators then continue to monitor that IP address for months or years until the number of tracked downloads triggers Strike 3 to take legal action usually more than This of course implicates privacy concerns and the potential for reputational harm of an innocent John Doe being named in or associated with a salacious lawsuit.

I believe they are saying that it might be excusable for people to download movies if they aren't being made available for purchase in a timely fashion.
It does indeed seem a bit odd. Hey Mike, the length of the Techdirt Crystal Ball window is not written into law, are you going to make it shorter? Remember, 'you'll be able to see it up to 60 minutes before anyone else can'. Mike likes to have his commentary on release windows. Most of the time he talks about eliminating them. At the same time he has his own release window. Mike claims that his window is not a window but an inside view of how things work for those that want to buy it. I'd argue that the theater experience is not a release window, its a going out and seeing a movie experience, PPV is not a release window its an opportunity for those that want it to get an early view, DVD is not a release window its the general release.
Why is it that windows work for Mike and not for anyone else? I agree that theatre is a valuable experience in itself, which is exactly the argument against release windows. I have no idea how you can argue that PPV is an 'early view' and not a release window, when it clearly comes after the theatre release.
And DVD is indeed the general release, existing in its own window. Do you have the Crystal Ball? If you did, I think you would understand how different it is.
My point is that we can call windows what they are or we can try to describe them away, at the end of the day they did not change they just got explained differently. For those of us that do not have the Crystal Ball, why doesnt someone explain how its different? Or better yet, explain how it is not a window.
It is simply a window with benefits that are unique to that window, just like the theater experience is a window that has unique benefits. I'm still not clear on why windows can work for Techdirt and not for others.
A lot of the stories that are in the Crystal Ball never make it to the real feed. So you can make the argument that it is a window, but you are only somewhat right. With any luck, the three-strike law will also mandate films have three plot breaks at regular minute intervals. This will allow movie patrons to take a piss, buy a baguette and cheese platter from the concession stand, smoke a Gauloise, or whatever the hell it is that french people do while at the theater.
Ahhh the French. They've long forgiven Germany for destroying them twice but have yet to forgive the U. Let France and the EU legislate and litigate itself into history where their only real film directors and artists have long been lying in state. My guess is, this is just a little show so the people think exactly what Dan said. As in see you got something out of it! We wouldn't just give these already ridiculously powerful companies the nod to circumvent your fundamental human rights and not give something back do you?
Look at how burdensome it is.. I hope your next revolution goes well.. Yes, I agree the whole concept looks better in theory then in practice.
