Maybe I am wrong but it seems like some of y’all aren’t reading the article. They aren’t going after IP’s in order to identify the individuals. They are trying to prove that frontier is not being proactive in their efforts to prevent piracy. The IP’s are to prove that it is going through frontier. Reddit->Frontier->Pirated content.

I am not saying I am ok with that, because I’m not, but what many of y’all are describing is happening is not exactly what is happening here.

Buddy, go bitch at the author who wrote the article that plastered all over what we're responding about.

And my point still stands - they CAN'T prove that those IP addresses would be from frontier. It's a huge whack a mole game they're getting themselves into.

What? I’m saying y’all are either misunderstanding the contents of the article or you aren’t reading it. It explains this quite clearly.

Umm. Yes they can. Quite easily. As Frontier would have been assigned those IPs as a static set.
