“Filmmaker” suing PassThePopcorn may be banned user out for revenge
摘要
一名被禁用户疑似冒充独立电影人Matthew Schneider，起诉PassThePopcorn等六个私有种子 tracker 侵犯版权。该“电影人”数月来试图通过Cloudflare获取运营者身份，直到上月tracker方面向法院指出其疑似冒充。真正的电影人随后在宣誓声明中表示，他与该案原告毫无关联，也从未参与此案。
Some of the most widely used private torrent trackers for pirating movies suspect that a banned user may have posed as a filmmaker protecting copyrights in a failed attempt to seek revenge.
TorrentFreak has been tracking this story closely, reporting last September that an alleged independent filmmaker named Matthew Schneider sued six private trackers for infringing copyrights on some films that he supposedly made. Trackers targeted include PassThePopcorn, BroadcasTheNet, and HDBits. For months, the filmmaker sought to get Cloudflare to unmask operators of the trackers through a copyright fight, which went on until trackers alerted the court last month that Schneider appeared to be an impostor.
In a sworn declaration, the actual filmmaker behind the movies cited in the complaint wrote that he had no association to the plaintiff in the case. “I am not involved in, nor have I ever appeared in, this case,” Schneider wrote.
