Time Warner Fights Mass Porn BitTorrent Lawsuits

Limits IP address lookups to no more than 10 a month, pushing the time it would take to reveal the identities of more than 4,000 unnamed BitTorrent users to a little over 33 years. Time Warner Cable is pushing back against attempts by Dallas-based attorney Evan Stone, on behalf of Larry Flynt Publishing (LFP), to divulge the names of thousands of IP addresses suspected of illegally sharing copies of “This Ain’t Avatar XXX.” Stone has filed three separate lawsuits against more than 4,000 unnamed BitTorrent users, but TWC is refusing to turn over the names all at once, limiting discovery to just 10 a month, and pushing the length of time it would take to identify all the suspected file-sharers to a little over 33 years. “If you’re a pirate in these times, TWC is the ISP to have,” he said in a statement to CNET.
