During these days if is extremely easy to track down the IP number of the person who is feeding the file to the big public. It is much easier for the copyright nazis to make a court case against the original releaser who is doing the uploading consciously and intentionally than against common downloaders who upload chunks of the file just because you can not download without uploading on BitTorrent and ed2k.

but how do they find the ip of the releaser once the file has been released? in other words, i can see how they could trace all pieces of a movie back to one source, but how do they know who that source is, once the file has been fully uploaded?
