the tube owners upload most of the content themselves so i'm sure they have a way of getting around that, possibly through a proxy server so it would be a huge waste of money.

'The most interesting thing I found in their approach,'' Linton continued, ''was their request for IP records going back 12 months or more. This would allow them to issue one subpoena ? that covers 12 months-plus of illegal downloading and thus allow them to take action against tens or hundreds of thousands of end users at a time on an ongoing basis.''
If Linton's hunch is correct, that could spell bad news for the vast number of Australians who have downloaded or uploaded movies such as Kill The Irishman via torrent-streaming sites in the past year.

Looks like they could do 1 subpoena to get 1,000s of records from ISPs don't see why it can't be done with tube site owners who are living or hosted in the US etc.
