Un completo articulo del cual tengo noticias a traves de alt1040, pero que en realidad proviene en Ingles desde TorrentFreak.
El articulo explica perfectamente como localizar a estos cabrones (lo equivalente a la SGAE de las Peliculas), sus rangos de IPs y como evitarlos. Para los que estais fuera de USA no sus debe de preocupar demasiado, pero para los de aqui, tened cuidadin, porque aqui te pillan la IP, y te denuncian como «Jonh Doe» (lo extra?s que los jueces acepten una demanda tan irregular) con vistas a que llegues a un acuerdo con ellos y pagues los 3 o 4 mil dolares que te piden para no ir a juicio… juicio al que algunas personas han llegado y han ganado de calle, pues las evidencias se caen por ella solas… pero claro, lo malo es que solo les han contraatacado un 3% de la gente denunciada.
Es increible… puede que la gente se baje peliculas, pero quien roba mas? Alguien que pone una peli falsa y luego te chantajea? Pues estamos en DOS delitos (de ellos) contra «uno» (el tuyo por intentar bajar algo que luego no es). ME hace gracia, SI NO BAJAS NADA QUE DELITO ES?
Bueno, pues aqui sus dejo el interesante articulo para los que bajais cosas en Version Original en Ingles (los que las bajais en Espa?por ahora tranquilos, no se ha pillado a ningun imbecil de estos haciendo estas chorradas) podais saber cuando son falsas o cunado sus estan «trackeando» a vusotros.

P.d.: Esta informacion es importante que la sepais, pero no para preocuparos, ya que cuando haceis las busquedas a traves de paginas webs especializadas y buscadores de trackers grandes como ThePirateBay, IsoHunt y Torrentz, ya estan filtradas. EL PROBLEMA VIENE SOLO CUANDO HACEIS BUSQUEDAS DE TRACKERS DIRECTAMENTE DESDE VUESTRO CLIENTE BT O DESDE PAGINAS NO CONFIABLES.
MPAA Caught Uploading Fake Torrents
It is no secret that the MPAA and other anti-piracy organizations track down alleged pirates by uploading fake torrents. Up until now it was always unclear where those files came from, and how to identify them.
The MPAA and other anti-piracy watchdogs try to trap people into downloading fake torrents, so they can collect IP addresses, and send copyright infringement letters to ISPs. They hire a company to put up fake copies of popular movies, music albums, and TV series. They even use pirate like filenames such as Battlestar Galactica S03E07 REPACK DSR XviD-ORENJi and Miami Vice[2006]DvDrip[Eng]-aXXo.
One of the btjunkie admins has found a unique way to identify trackers that host these fake files, which makes it easy to efficiently remove them.
Virtually all the servers that spread these fake files are located in Southern California and Las Vegas. The administrators of these servers follow patterns that make it easy to identify them. The content of the trackers and seed amounts make them stand out. There are more unique characteristics, but we wont reveal all the tricks because they could take counter measures. Here are some examples of servers that host and track fake torrents:
Tracker 1, Tracker 2, Tracker 3 & Tracker 4. (Screenshots: One & Two)
All the information was provided to me by one of the admins of btjunkie, who works together on this with other torrent site admins. He says that the MPAA and friends use a variety of tactics. The tracker will either stall everyone at around 90% or the content will just be a blank monochrome screen.
I really think this is being done by professionals with a budget, thats a lot of servers to setup and it takes some expertise to setup in the manner that they did it, says the btjunkie admin. I dont think I really need to say who would spend money on something like this.
Here are some good examples of how these fake torrents clutter up the search results. Virtually all of those X marked torrents are coming from the ip-ranges we mentioned, and are fake files. The good thing is that Torrentportals report system is well used by their users.
The server boxes that host these torrents fall in serveral ip-ranges. Here are a few of the ranges that were discovered recently. You can easily add these to the blocklist of your torrent client (if it supports one), filewall, or blocklist manager.
The anti-piracy servers use hostnames like 101tracker.dhcp.biz, aplustorrents.qhigh.com, bitnova.squirly.info, bittorment.ocry.com, and pirate-trakkrz.leet.la. All these hostnames can be traced back to the same IP Ranges, these ranges contain possibly hundreds of fake trackers, so feel free to block them:
A list of infohashes of fake torrents can be found over here.
Note that its not only MPAA material that is hosted on these fake trackers. It is more likely that the servers are owned and operated by an organization that logs IP addresses for several copyright owners and or anti-piracy organizations.
Update: according to one of out readers these ip-ranges belong to Media Defender, a company that is hired by copyright owners, to log IP-addresses. This reader, who worked for Media Defender until recently, confirmed that some of the torrents that were mentioned, are indeed on the MPAAs list.
