Did VM contest it? They dont say they did, so they probably just rolled over and dished out the details of their customers. Nice of them.

Virgin Media Confirms Subscriber Data Handover
Speaking with TorrentFreak, a Virgin Media spokesperson confirmed that the company had indeed handed over subscriber information to Voltage Holdings.

“We take the privacy and security of our customers’ data very seriously. Virgin Media will only ever disclose customer information to third parties if required by law to do so through a valid Court order,” the company explained.

“In this case a Court order was successfully granted to Voltage Pictures which means a very small number of Virgin Media customers may now receive correspondence from this organization.

That doesn't say they contested the court order, just that there was a court order. If VM didn't contest, of course it was granted.

Is this only related to Torrents?

I've not used Torrents for donkeys years.

Yes just torrents. Could all have been avoided with a VPN so no sympathy for them.

I don't but I have membership of a private tracker whos members are by invitation only. Also only the tracker is used to reference peers. No local discovery.

Do people really try this without VPN or a proxy server nowadays? To access most torrent sites in this country you need VPN to get around the blocks ISPs put on. Having done that, why did they then disconnect their VPN?

Not necessarily, SH3 had a vulnerability for a few months whereby peoples ‘real’ ip addresses have been obtained whilst using VPN’s

VPN’s don’t offer the level of security that most people believe
