The Arstechnica article in the link describes how Brett Gibbs, a wefightpiracy/ Steele Hansmeier employee, recently told a judge that he would have to search every computer in the home of one of the accused in order to determine whether or not he is the infringer. What this really means is that the "evidence" collected by John Steele is incapable of identifying which computer supposedly downloaded one of his client's files. This means that, unless he is just utterly incompetent, Mr. Steele lied about developing proprietary software and has merely been writing down people's IP addresses as they popped up on Bittorrent. Perhaps, once he realized how much money he could make, he just started writing down random numbers(just my opinion). Anyway, just noticed that the he voluntarily dismissed over 700 does in one of his cases. His office called many of the dismissed on a daily basis with the intent of scaring them out of their money. Now he is living in Florida and is most likely searching for new clients to start up a new blackmail campaign. Overall, I just want to point out to people that Mr. Steele's inability to identify the computer that allegedly downloaded the file means that an individual could use wardriving as an excuse, replace their hard drive, replace their computer, etc. and Mr. Steele's office will remain way too ridiculously incompetent to even notice. As an IP lawyer, Mr. Steele and his office are a complete joke. Next time he calls, just hang up
