Customs nabs second cyber criminal.
The 38-year-old unemployed man was arrested in his Wan Chai residence after officers detected him uploading directions on downloading two movies over the weekend.
They were first alerted by their HK$100,000 Lineament Monitoring System on Friday when the copyright infringer logged in for a little over an hour to upload directions to a Bit Torrent “seeder file” required to reassemble file fragments from his and other computers containing the parts of the copyright- infringing work. But the man logged off after nearly two hours of uploading. When he went online again on Sunday, his location was revealed by his internet service provider after he finished uploading the final segments.
So your ISP will just tell the coppers where you are.
Remember Big Crook? Done for uploading Daredevil, Red Planet and Miss Congeniality.
This guy was uploading NYC Tornado Terror and Bridehood Revisited.
Lineament Monitoring System?
the BitTorrent Monitoring System was implemented to help finding the first uploader in the BT network and has been used by local law enforcement agency.
So, for now, just don’t initiate the seeding of shit films.

Auto-Tune, properly torqued up, is the rare edit that calls attention to itself. Auto-Tune software detects pitch, and when a vocal is routed through Auto-Tune, and a setting called “retune speed” is set to zero, warbling begins. This, roughly, is what happens: Auto-Tune locates the pitch of a recorded vocal, and moves that recorded information to the nearest “correct” note in a scale, which is selected by the user. With the speed set to zero, unnaturally rapid corrections eliminate portamento, the musical term for the slide between two pitches. Portamento is a natural aspect of speaking and singing, central to making people sound like people. A nonmusical example of portamento would be “up-speak,” a verbal tic common in some people under thirty. (Can you imagine the end of every sentence rising in pitch? Like a question?) Processed at zero speed, Auto-Tune turns the lolling curves of the human voice into a zigzag of right-angled steps. These steps may represent “perfect” pitches, but when sung pitches alternate too quickly the result sounds unnatural, a fluttering that is described by some engineers as “the gerbil” and by others as “robotic.”
Then have a giggle:
Auto-Tune the news.
