Copyright Troll Ran Pirate Bay Honeypot, Comcast Confirms

http://j.mp/13qLLZN  (Torrent Freak)

   "Evidence is stacking up that Prenda Law has been operating a honeypot
    in order to lure Internet users into downloading copyrighted material.
    A subpoena just returned by Comcast confirms that a Pirate Bay user
    called "Sharkmp4 is directly linked to the infamous anti-piracy law
    firm. The case is controversial in many ways, not least because The
    Pirate Bay actively helped to expose the copyright troll in question."
