Note that in the Netherlands right holders can request ISPs to proxy their letters but those ISPs are not allowed to share the home addresses or any other personal information so it’s neigh impossible for a right holder to get hold of a torrent user.

Makes sense. If ISPs were allowed to share home addresses then a lot of creeps and scammers could abuse that system.

I'm pretty sure that sort of thing would be a gross GDPR violation in the EU.

Imagine being doxxed by your own ISP.

Of course they have to obey court orders.

The Dutch ISPs fought this in court but they lost in some cases.

There's a difference between getting a court order and someone saying - "I saw that X IP address shared a copyrighted file - can I get their name and address?"

The situation is the same for Canadians: we get proxied letters, but rightsholders have no access to our personal identification.
