Virgin Media has to give out the names and addresses of 800 of it's customers because the court has said they must.
Previously the Porn companies involved only had an IP address which they were unable to identify anyone by, except for what ISP they used. So they took VM to court to get their customers detail, so they knew who had the infringing IP at the time of the so called porn downloading offence.
Should have been obvious from the article tbh.

No, Torrentfreak is just a news site. One would assume the porn was downloaded via torrents, which is where they saw the VM customers IP address to begin with.
