Alleged eDonkey Pirate Gets Trial

Declan McCullagh writes on C|Net News:

Paramount detected a copy of its Jim Carrey movie "Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events" on the eDonkey network on Dec. 23, 2004. That was a week after it was released in theaters.

The detection, done by contractor BayTSP, allegedly yielded an Internet Protocol (IP) address of 69.141.202.170. Because that chunk of IP addresses is owned by Comcast, Paramount filed a "John Doe" lawsuit and then fired off a subpoena to the cable provider.
