Look what you downloaded in torrents
“Hello, pirate! Your IP address is in our database. You like to download torrents, right? At least someone in your house just loves. Judging by our records, you downloaded several files recently. Below you see a sign with some examples, ”- with these words welcomes you a new web service YouHaveDownloaded.com , created by our compatriots. 
Leading developers Ruslan K. and Ilya R. (on the photo) hide their names, just in case.
The service allows you to view a list of downloaded files at a given IP address. To avoid overlaps due to dynamic IPs, the timestamps and unique tags of computers from DHT are supposedly taken into account, but those who sit behind NAT may feel safe.
“Pugalka” from the service you can insert on your website, so that each visitor will see what torrents he downloaded recently.
Currently 51.7 million users are in the database. The service is for informational purposes only; they do not make any claims to the pirates and even allow them to “remove” themselves from the database. The user must log in via Facebook, specify the name and e-mail address, as well as subscribe to the statement that he actually downloaded these files; at the same time, the service does not guarantee that the “remote” information will not appear in any other database.

From the paranoiac point of view, the scheme is obvious: the confirmed data by the owners of the service can sell to the RIAA / MPAA and other organizations that will squeeze money from real people who have identified themselves. In Russia, this is still irrelevant, but site developers can make good money on American and European users.
But in reality it is difficult to imagine that this site aims to make money, rather, it looks like some kind of joke (even the motto “Don't take it seriously” is printed in the footer). Although, the owner of the service is the American company XMLSHOP LLC , they may well crank up some kind of scheme.
