Seriously though, torrents (especially public ones) are just asking for it. Anyone can join the tracker and see who else is on it. + Show Spoiler + binary newsgroups, on the other hand, are nice | ||

Of course that doesn't work for everyone, as some ISPs don't carry usenet, or block the alt. hierarchy. | ||

But if you use all private trackers, you'll probably never get caught.. so thats my suggestion. look for good private torrent sites | ||

It may help to some degree, however peerguardian can only block ips that are known to belong to copyright enforcing agencies and I assure you there are more IPs where those came from. That being said, it certainly couldn't hurt in the future. Really all they have to use is a modified torrent client which just grabs the IPs of everyone seeding and leaching off of the torrent. You can even do the same yourself by checking the IP addresses of the people you are connected to on the torrent. This problem is of course bypassed with private torrent sites, however those are difficult to get into and I'm not even talking about the really private ones, even the less private places like demonoid can be hard enough if you don't know somebody. EDIT: I forgot to mention the important thing is that if you can get into a private tracker, so can a copyright agency, so a less private one may not really protect you like you want it to. | ||

Actually this happens in Poland as well, I wouldn't be surprised if this happens in multiple countries. When I lived in the US and had COX/Comcast/TimeWarner we ( roomates & I ) would have this happen as TimeWarner customers - usually I would go to a website and would have a form stating "Your account is in violation of downloading this & that, stop it, Do you agree Yes/No" And clicking Yes would unblock the account. | ||
