Dear Thomas Sutpen,

The problem is much simpler, if 200 persons are sharing this ISO and if
it is confirmed to be a "pirated" version by downloading from ONE of
these users you can tell that the other 199 are also sharing the same
pirated versions, knowing that most (all) p2p applications use hashes to
identify the files. In other words, if 200 sources are listed all of
them are sharing the exact same file, at least if you trust the p2p
application code. (Which you can't proof does indeed work flawlessy
in this regards, but you get my point).
