Talk:Torrent poisoning

Copyright violation

I haven't even seen the content that CorenSearchBot says I've copied from... There's only a couple of sentences in the article so far - will be adding more later, including refs to any relevant materials. Monsterseas (talk) 15:23, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

I removed the notice. Melchoir (talk) 06:48, 17 March 2011 (UTC)

We already have a stub that addresses this topic. This method is better known within industry as "spoofing" or "decoying". See Spoofing (anti-piracy measure). Wikispan (talk) 16:16, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

NPOV

This article could do a better job of distinguishing between malicious individuals who pollute file sharing networks for profit (via Trojans, etc.) and anti-piracy organisations who attempt to protect legitimate content providers. Wikispan (talk) 16:16, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

It appears that about half of this article is based on rumor and innuendo from piracy sites that state opinions without evidence followed by streams of crude responses.Objective3000 (talk) 11:14, 1 April 2011 (UTC)

It most assuredly needs a lot of work. Nor am I happy with using TorentFreak as a reliable source, for the simple reason it does not meet criteria. As I have shown previously, TF is a blog that promotes copyright infringement and interferes with ongoing Police investigations.

"According to authorities the site had been subjected to a months-long operation. This is something TorrentFreak can confirm. Following a tipoff from a very reliable source, we informed NinjaVideo months ago that they were being watched..."^[1]

Can you imagine the Washington Post or the New York Times tipping off Pirate websites? This article requires better sources. Wikispan (talk) 16:16, 1 April 2011 (UTC)

Objective3000, I think "about half" is a slight exaggeration. Wikispan, point taken - I have removed the very small section that referenced TorrentFreak, and I'm in the process of looking for better references. Monsterseas (talk) 12:15, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
