With P2P you canīt do that. You cannot sue everyone that shares a file (as the RIAA and MPAA have found out). You find complete site rips that can be downloaded in a matter of hours or days, depending on how much bandwidth you have. And most importantly, you often cannot hold the sites that are hosting the trackers accountable.
You can try to flood P2P networks with your branded files,etc. but that doesnīt solve the fact that surfers wonīt join your site if they can find your whole site in a single torrent.
The fact that these sites are being financed by certain sponsors doesnīt help either.
You can't say for sure that all the files there don't brand the content, it is for the most part watermarketed, and hell I see a file called Ashley Lightspeed. Don't you think they will goto google and look for more of the content?

Nobody has a clue, they do get a shitload of typein traffic though and nobody knows for sure where that comes from.
