Like if someone would upload show A from company 1 and company 1 would request takedown of that post and try to get the identity of the uploader. What are the chances of show B from company 2 then also getting removed because they were uploaded by the same uploader? (Provided it was always used a different posting address but that can be any random address someone put into their Upload Software).
My understanding is that providers like vipernews.com don’t Even store Upload Headers/logs (message-id’s) for more than 14 days anymore?
Wasn’t there that one case of a copyright company / studio going after one particular uploader and since he always used the same name (or account) they wanted to go after him for ALL of his uploads he ever did?
Can it still be tracked which Usenet account uploaded what after like 2 years? (E.g. could you go to Highwinds/Edeka and ask them for the account details of the uploader of post xyz ?)
I know vpn and untraceable payment method should be used for serious uploading anyways but I’m still curious about the topic regarding privacy in general and data retention (risk of all old posts getting auto-dmca‘d because the account did upload one copyright protected piece of content, even though all their other posts weren’t copyright protected content).
