Through a DMCA subpoena directed at Cloudflare, an independent filmmaker is trying to uncover the identities of people connected to several prominent private torrent trackers. Private torrent sites, or private trackers as they are commonly known, have a special place in the piracy ecosystem. Many private trackers have come and gone over the years, but some have been going for decades. With most anti-piracy enforcement focused on public platforms, predominantly streaming sites, private trackers generally operate beyond the limelight. However, this is the first time that we have seen a small independent filmmaker target such prominent private trackers.
