Hmm I do wanna know how they found who it was though. In my understanding, the ISP is the only one who knows which IP address they assign to who, and when. Therefore, the police'd have to get the equivalent of a warrant or court order to get the ISP to disclose the link between IP address and user name, address, no?
another question: is it still illegal to download something you already own on DVD? Since it's like with software, no? You are paying for the right to use the content, not for the DVD disk, which costs next to nothing. so if you have paid for hte right to watch a film by buying it on DVD, arent you allowed to have a copy on your HD?

I'm pretty sure as long as you have evidence of illegal activity on someone's IP, the ISP will provide information for them to prosecuted.
Why bother downloading it if you paid for it on DVD already? If you're really desperate to have it, back the thing up yourself (which is legal)
