i know all about the advertising campaign he posted about i meant where do the companies papers etc find any proof that this funds terrorism

I'd guess it was because of some very tenuous links with the IRA, same as there still is with dodgy stb's in Ireland now.

 

[Jooooles]

Im thinking could this cause problems for people with hacked modems ?

say on 2mb but there downloading 1000gb a week lmao

Would there be any ways for preventing ISP's from gaining your IP address or anything?

Maybe using Hide IP Platinum..... :err:

I don't think he knows.

Just lame inaccurate paranoia about our freedoms being taken away from us blah blah blah.

If you were to perform an exegesis of 1984, and compare it to present day society you would find more differences, than similarities.

but you got to admit some of 1984 is finding its way into our current timeline, not read it since high school, was it not based on a Stalinist regime, or was that animal farm. Mainly freedom of information and monitoring.

people say the same about Nostradamus but some of his crap has come to pass

In general no, you can pretend to be someone else (cloned MAC), but if they detect it they might come down hard. But it's not the ISPs that are doing it. It's the Record industry. Basically, they connect up to a tracker, grab a list of ip addresses and then contact the relevant isp. There's massive holes in this though. There was a recent investigation by a group at the Washington university managed to get several DMCA takedown letters sent to a network printer. It's trivial to spoof ip addresses to a tracker, and many think it would make the 'evidence' useless in court. See here for the paper.

Hmmm, what if your a seeder, surely they are the main people to catch, without people seeding, there will be less leechers.

Having just finished a month of rapidshare and absolute shed loads of downloads, and what is available on rapidshare is amazing (check out rapidfind), Im very surprised if its just p2p and torrents being monitored.

 

[english]

i think their main problem is using the network to share stuff, instead of just getting it for personal use

 

[grogsy76]

bpi etc.

If they want people to buy music legally then why don't they update there pricing structure.

I would download music if:

1. 0.49p a track
2. DRM free

Currently i buy CD's when there on offer im not gonna pay 0.79p for a track i dont really own.

i remember downloading a erm 'backup' of lord of the rings, i set it all going, went to spain for 12 days, and it still wasnt finished when i got back lmfao

 

[daveleebond]

what i really hate is when isp's sell you a package, like i have unlimited 2mb, not allot but enough for me, but then introduce traffic shaping and 'fair use' policies, c'mon 2mb on vgen, why do they need to traffic shape that?

 

[daveleebond]

so that all the other 2mb users dont knacker the network with torrents as well

i'm a newsgroup man sir!!!!!!!!, torrents are for the common folk

is it only the upstream that concerns isp's?

 

[daveleebond]

torrents = communism

paid for services = bourgeois

i am no snob my friend

i just like the was newsgroups allways give you the most out of your connection, £8 a month is well worth it.

torrents = common

paid for services = bloody great

Seriously though, unless you are inside (private elite trackers - with forced subscriptions) then you are going to find it very hard. I think the noob trackers will cease to become worth it for UK users.

Newsgroups ftw. Most noobs won't get into it. So, the copyright lobby won't go after them quickly.

When they do, I will just get private FTP access. I used to do it years ago, but newsgroups were cheaper and less hassle.

Just me two pennies worth.
