I'll pick here to reply since most of you people have no clue what you're talking about... Yes, lots of games use BitTorrent to transmit updates, etc.
They're not sending everyone to the cops who is using BitTorrent. They're sending people to the cops based on DMCA takedown notices. These notices give the date, time, "infringing file", IP address, port, and hash of the "infringing file". They're using this information to identify the person and send them on.
No, I don't agree with what they're doing, but at least know what the hell you're talking about before you start bitching about "legal" p2p usage getting reported.
