wtf are these?

A list of super-cool pirates. The MPAA and RIAA use it to determine who should get the most copyright infringement letters.

thanks for the serious answer

I could copy the userbase of any high-level site and make it public.Big deal.

Difference is these were usernames, email addresses and hashes along with the users IP.

Only a problem if you use the same pass elsewhere.

Use a differnet PW on every site and they can collect all the lists/db's they want.

You're welcome.

What about your IP and e-mail address? Would you be OK with anyone being able to get that information?

Link don't work anymores. I was gonna see if I made the list, lol. The Chief ALWAYS uses different passwords on all sites. I learned many tricks on evasion while I spent a few years with some tribes in the south-eastern amazon forests. But somehow, I guess I missed that scene notice when it came out.

Which means those sites suck....

In case you weren't aware... MOST private sites have had their databases hacked over the years.
FST, SCC, FTN, SCT, F*C, TL to name just a few of the more common names you might recognize over the years.

Does your comment pertain to the above mentioned sites as well?
I can honestly think of maybe 5 if that, that have been around for > 3 yrs and haven't had their databases hacked.

One shouldn't sign up with a private e-mail-addy. I see no problem with a 'fake', 'disposable' e-mail addy out in the open.

IP ... only a liability if not using VPN or the likes. If you don't use VPN it could be a risk if the tracker got hacked and the db were to fall in the hands of the authorities etc ... but I guess they are already harvesting IP's on every tracker as we speak.

The chance of getting picked out is an acceptable risk, otherwise one shouldn't use P2P in the first place.

Some tracker staff do, and will disable your account for using a disposable address. Even if besides "the e-mail address must be VALID" (and technically, disposable addresses are), it doesn't say it's forbidden anywhere in the rules.

Most people are not. But then again, the copyright agencies can't go after all of them. For a mid-large tracker that'd consume a huge amount of time and resources.

That's true.
