Would you block IP's of torrent users if you could?

If you didn't already know, there is a way to get the IP's of verified torrent users. Would you block them if you could?

And ... how do you get the ips????

Very few people here in the UK use a static IP address so I'm not sure it would be very effective.

Yup, very few with static IP. But I would definitly ban / block or do whatever you can against them.

UK computers/routers do have MAC addresses right?

I know a few sites that have been blocking torrent users for a couple years, one of which is in the UK, but as I've been asked not to discuss it publicly over the weekend (and I completely understand why) I wont go any further with it.

I will say that there are a couple ways to do it, one of which is very easy and requires no special software/coding for most servers, though you will need a torrent account and the ability to upload the torrent and post.

I don't currently block torrent users but after my sites relaunch I'll probably start doing it.
