still is unclear how the Abmahnanwälte legal IP addresses of porn users came By Benedikt Fuest

is still not clear in the case of warnings of users of Porn Streaming Redtube portal, as exactly the Berlin lawyer Daniel Sebastian has found the IP addresses of the users. Sebastian had filed the IP addresses of tens of thousands of users at the Regional Court of Cologne, to gain a right of access to Deutsche Telekom on the names and postal addresses of the users. However, Sebastian had deliberately not exactly explain how the agency responsible for the investigation company had spied out the connection between Redtube and its users. “The report does not explain in the last technical detail how the IP addresses of users have been identified. This is a trade secret of the company investigation,” attorney Thomas Urmann had the words “world”.

The Cologne Regional Court had therefore no precise insight into the investigation. A spokesman for the court said, in the proceedings, the judge would have to rely on the testimony of a third firm that had examined the method used: According to the report based the work carried out during the tests Actions “technically on standard Internet technologies, which in the use used test scenario did not indicate any concerns regarding possible violations of law. “

meantime, however, operate various Abgemahnt users themselves in forums about collecting evidence to approach the Abmahner. Who had in his Internet browser or log files from the period from late July to early August in which he had, according to the warning visited the copyrighted Redtube-sites, there was evidence of a site called trafficholder.com. From there, the browser was only in quick succession movfile.net on the side, then retdube.net on the side and were forwarded from there to the actual streaming portal Redtube – there were the links of movfile and retdube apparently with a unique movie- marked identification number.

The page traffic holder is an offer to the operators of porn sites – it directs targeted Internet users looking for sex sites on their offers on, can, for example German Redirecting users on German-language pages. According to information the page reaches almost 20 million users a day on, the previously searched via Google for sex keywords.

it would be theoretically possible that the identification of company Traffic Holder paid for it, specifically movfile.net German Porn viewfinder on the sides and to conduct retdube.net. A reader of the magazine “ct” controlled the access numbers of four Abgemahnt porn for the period in question and found out that following the registration of pages, the access numbers of the films in question had doubled. If this is true, the investigators had specifically directed German Porn-gazers on their specially registered to the porn sites to determine their IP addresses. However, for the investigators have generated the later Abgemahnt porn hits itself – a legally at least questionable approach

.

Whether in determining the IPs everything is approached with the right things, now also interested in the Cologne Public Prosecutor: The Berlin law firm Werdermann / of males has experienced legal circles that the prosecution determined against the person responsible Redtube case. Attorney John of males said: “If the prosecutors now be determined without ads, it means that here is obviously the suspicion of criminal offenses in the space of this question can be investigated, such as itGuards was unable to determine the IP addresses of thousands of innocent citizens..”
