Dutch anti-piracy foundation walks the plank
The most popular method of digital piracy worldwide involves the use of so-called ‘torrents’. A large file, for example an illegally copied movie, is cut into thousands of small parts. The torrent is a small file containing metadata of the larger file, and how it has been cut. A special program (‘a client’) reads the torrent file, and downloads all the small parts through the Internet from users all around the world (‘peers’).
