Koby Posted February 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Has anyone heard about Toei suing Bit Torrent users over One Piece? http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2012-02-07/toei-animation-sues-869-bittorrent-users-over-one-piece The part that caught my eye is the part about "The suit notes that users in a BitTorrent "swarm," is it something like this Kametsu is trying to do? If it decides to go the torrent route.FUNimation tried the same thing last year with 1,337 users. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MangaLove Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 FUNimation tried the same thing last year with 1,337 users.Except this time Toei seems to be target specific, the article states Toei believes at least some of the downloaders live in the DC area. Toei also claims the downloaders are “simultaneously downloading parts of the file and distributing parts of it to others” therefore they are calibrating with each other. This seems to be taking care of at least two of the reasons why Funimations case was dismiss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koby Posted February 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 “simultaneously downloading parts of the file and distributing parts of it to others”That is exactly how torrents work. Thing is, the only way they get this info is to join the swarm which means they must either have access on the private tracker or the torrent was on a public tracker. Either way they were also uploading/downloading to have been able gather the IP's of users in that specific torrents swarm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how they plan on going about accomplishing this part. “…..defendants in turn may lead to the identification of additional infringing parties”.

Kurremkarmerruk Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 Also some have mentioned that torrents are slow. Private trackers are much faster since everyone is responsible to keep a ratio and there aren't fake packets. Plus, with an active community you can just go on the forum and ask someone to seed something that you want. This way a bunch of people might notice the renewed interest and also help as peers and eventually seeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lemmingllama Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 Glad to see this site is back up and running. It took me forever to find a good reliable downloading site. Kametsu is a community forum, not a download site. That means that it is supposed to be used to chat with other people about stuff, not just to get links for downloads...

Ayrtoo Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 I personally use alot of torrents for my downloading, but simply using a download manager and file sharing sites removes the chance of people dropping the torrent & it becoming dead.So i think we should just try another file sharing site :]Sorry if im a little late for this discussion..

† Emotional Outlet Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 All right, I'm closing this thread. The forum has been back up for a while now and people are just posting useless messages. If there's a dire need to reopen it and you don't happen to be an admin or a mod, please send a message to someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
