Unless, of course, the RIAA, MPAA, and friends carry out their
cracking through throw-away dial and DSL accounts, like they
purportedly use now to troll for copyright offenders, and send
automated nasty-grams to their upstream providers.

Carrying out their cracking from a uniform netblock or AS, which we
could all identify and filter, would be too easy.  They're flagrant,
but they're not stupid.
