Hello,

Not to defend the RIAA, but remember that with peer-2-peer filesharing
you don't have to connect to the machine you want to download the
files from.  You are both connected to a database, and the database
can instruct the person with the file what machine to send it to.
Otherwise no one behind a NAT would be able to "share" their files...

So, you have to not only look at connection attempts to the IP
mentioned, but also connection attempts *FROM* the IP mentioned.
Peer-2-peer is not limitted to pulling, but can also push.
 

So can we assume that they "trust" the directory(database)server?
