Just a side-note: the attitude expressed in the Russian version of the website is nowhere that mild and neutral as in the English one. I personally do find it not only alarming, but disgusting to the very least (esp. the "torrent-tracker users deanonymization" part).

Here is my crude translation:

Cooperation
============
We are ready to share data on an automated basis, in a different cross-sections and formats.
Besides we do have the technical means for "catching" users, who do participate in the torrent-file seeding.
By means of connecting to the user's device and subsequent downloading of one tiny piece
from the torrent-file, it is possible to collect a TCP-dump of the data exchanged for that piece.
There is a unique fingerprint associated with both those data exchanged and the torrent-file itself [0].
That allows to prove the fact that torrent distribution had been taken place from the particular IP address [1].
Everything mentioned above will be potentially actual/useful in Russia [2].
If interested in cooperation, you could let us know: <cooperation-email-address>
P.S. We also have means/possibilities to build recommendation systems, to de-anonymize torrent-trackers users and much, much more.
"The company informed us that the site helps to showcase their abilities to the various outfits they work with, including copyright holders.
“We’ve set up the site for promotional purposes and as a demonstration of our capabilities,” Marketing director Andrey Rogov says.
“We are engaged in the distribution of information relating to torrent downloading activity to rightsholders, advertising platforms, law-enforcement and international organizations.”
The company offers API access to its data for interested parties and can also provide TCP dumps as extra proof that downloaded content is linked to a certain IP-address."

[0] I guess, they speak about "piece" from the "info" array: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torrent_file#File_structure
[1] They have downloaded it from you, so the fact of the distribution, am I missing something?
