TorrentFreak tells us, “It is no secret that the MPAA [Motion Picture Association of America] and other anti-piracy organizations track down alleged pirates by uploading fake torrents. Up until now it was always unclear where those files came from, and how to identify them.”

Basically, the MPAA uses a company to log IP addresses of possible copyright violators.

As TorrentFreak states, “according to one of out readers these ip-ranges belong to “Media Defender“, a company that is hired by copyright owners, to log IP-addresses. This reader, who worked for Media Defender until recently, confirmed that some of the torrents that were mentioned, are indeed on the MPAA’s list.”

Additionally, “The anti-piracy servers use hostnames like 101tracker.dhcp.biz, aplustorrents.qhigh.com, bitnova.squirly.info, bittorment.ocry.com, and pirate-trakkrz.leet.la…” so feel free to NOT download any with those hostnames.
