Have any of the piracy suits successfully identified and named individual clients sharing copyrighted material as part of a swarm or have the suits only been against generic P2P file sharing services?  I don't have the technical chops to know how hard it would be to find the identity of someone in a swarm, but I'd be surprised if it isn't a bit more challenging than just finding a p2p user.

I would be really surprised if this doesn't take off unless there are some really unpleasant catches or the price is way higher than indicated.  Unlimited download of 100% legal mp3s almost sounds to good to be true when every other business model either bleeds you dry with microtransactions, partners each download with the DRM version of a slap in the face, or both.

 Even if the library is paulty, such a service would definetly have my business because the arrangement would finally feel a bit less one sided.

People aren't automatically making light of a subject just by way of including it in a video game; that's what the people angry over this game don't seem to get.  The fact that there is so much interest around playing the roll of a soldier in so many video games is because people ADMIRE the armed forces and what they do.
