The MPAA is suing 66.250.450.10

You better hope your IP address isn’t 66.250.450.10, because it means the MPAA is suing you. Oh thats right… that IP address DOESNT EXIST. Nor could it ever exist on an IP network. Dotted decimal IP numbers consist of 8-bit octets represented as decimal numbers. With 8 bits, you get a range of 0-255… which DOESNT INCLUDE 450. So basically, the MPAA is trying to BS their way into a lawsuit. Keep in mind, this is a lawsuit against a bittorrent seed.

You know, this makes me wonder what things will be like with IPv6. With 128-bit addresses, things might get more complicated to track.
