My freind recieved the DL letters, and he too had not heard of the game. He most definitely had not up/downloaded it. He does however use azureus for anime (unless it is licensed).

I am pursuing a line of investigation on this matter regarding Logistep's collection of IP addresses.
Does anyone know if the file monitored was a torrent or not? I would think it had to be given that ppl using azureus are listed in the so called 'evidence pack'.

I am going to set up a torrent file (made up of my own created documents/programmes) to share.
Set up a shareaza client to download it and disconnect the 'seed' when it is only partially done.
The client machine performing the download will have a packet sniffer running on it, and hopefully it will record connections from people who could not possibly have the file to share. The packet sniffer will be filtering for traffic on the shareaza port which I choose.

This will work only if false connections are made on a very small swarm (number of ppl connected to a tracker) as opposed to on a large swarm. My fear is that false connections are only made when connecting to large swarms (connecting to the wrong torrent once in a while).

As an innocent party, he for sure will not succumb to any 'demands for monies with menaces'.

If anyone can see any flaws in my reasoning here etc.. please post or pm me.

Lets nail these bad boy lawyers! :-)
