German firm threatens to publish IP addresses of alleged porn pirates
http://j.mp/O6N5HS (ars technica)
"A German law firm representing pornography publishers is threatening
to publicly embarrass those it has accused of infringing its clients'
works by publishing their contact information on its website. Der
Spiegel reports (the news story includes a NSFW image) that the firm
of Urmann and Colleagues (U+C) has warned on its website that it will
begin publishing the information on September 1."

Three words: "alleged" and "litigation bait."
