With the help of ScanEye, a Bittorrent monitoring company, TorrentFreak has reported that a number of IP addresses for the popular file-sharing protocol come from non other than those registered to various FBI agencies. It is also likely that these would have been downloads for personal use, as they were spread across a number of months. This contrasts with their behaviour in undercover "entrapment".
Would people working for one of the biggest "intelligence" agencies in the world really be so careless? As one commenter points out:
At the end of the day, even the FBI's staff are just regular people like you and I who want to experience and share culture with everyone abroad.
It would certainly be ironic if the agency had to arrest its own staff as a result of RIAA/MPAA tracking.
