It usually points to a router, of which there can be hundreds of devices connected to it on your home network. Securing your wifi is one thing (which doesn't even absolutely prove that it was one of your home devices that did the torrenting, thanks to things like the KRACK attacks), but to then say "well you should secure your internal network such that torrenting cannot happen" is absolutely ridiculous. Torrent programs can work off any port, so that filters out port blocks. Is grandma going to install layer 7 traffic inspection so the grandkids can't doing illegal stuff on that newfangled interwebs? They'll switch to https then... My point is that anyone with the technical know-how and very rudimentary internet access can bypass almost any restriction you try to put on it. What if the pirate is a minor and won't listen to their parents and keeps on torrenting? Do you permanently take their internet access away? How does that then stifle them for school homework or their social interaction? How can we expect each and every citizen to deploy NSA grade traffic monitoring on their router? The whole thing is ridiculous and the courts are still vehemently out of touch |
