“Filmmaker” suing PassThePopcorn may be banned user out for revenge
Summary
Ars Technica reports on a controversial copyright case where a self-identified filmmaker allegedly sued private torrent trackers to unmask operators, then appeared to be an impostor. The case involves privacy, identity verification, and potential sanctions as the court scrutinizes the plaintiff’s true identity and motivations. A hearing in October will address sanctions and whether the claims were filed in good faith.
