[PolloDiablo]

This won't effect Australia and such will it?

 

[LightyKD]

This is not going to end well.

LMFAO I can see some BS propaganda like that happening.

SO.....I'm confused now because some ppl say peerblock is crummy and others are saying it works... what's the deal?

I was referring to your post, not the new anti-piracy law.

All I see is the irony in people paying for protection so they don't get caught for downloading their entertainment for free

Considering a VPN is around $40/year, it's a lot cheaper than buying all the movies and songs you download. It really helps you save when it comes to softwares too.

I prefer not to torrent anyways, I use links from sites like billionuploads and rapidshare.

I've never used a torrent in my life as of yet and never really would see the need to. Usenet all the way for me to get what I want.

Well of course but the irony is still there. I'm also quite aware of the "benefits" of piracy as well.

Peerblock does not prevent your IP from being seen in a torrent swarm. Anyone can see your ip including "blocked" sites/people/IPs.

Also the peer has to be blocked before anything can happen. Just getting a new IP address will lead to you being shown on everyone's torrent platform as a seeder. So no, it won't help much in terms of being safe from everywhere.

this makes me remember about an artwork showing a lady with 2 kids in prison, because her kids watching "copyrighted" video with her laptop.
I can't find that picture.

VPN is not solution for a long term.
good vpn also had limited amount of bandwith they can serve.

this is exactly like DRM enabled, and I hate it, and no I can't think anything good if this going to be true.
I've had enough day explaining to people everytime they ask why they can't visit "certain" website, because our provider block it.

what's next? someone going to sue you if you watching DVD over your friend house because you don't own that DVD?

During the coming months millions of BitTorrent users will be actively monitored by copyright holders.

If copyright holders will be actively monitoring millions of torrent users, they must be rolling out a lot of changes to facilitate it. Doesn't that mean it will be easier for them to sue anyone, in addition to working with ISPs on a six-strikes plan? Should everyone be worried now, regardless of if their ISP is participating? Has the risk of being sued also gone up?

Use an encrypted newsgroup provider based in Europe. Presto, no problems.

Probably 'cause it was BS? Pirating a video is a civil offense, not a criminal offense.

I bet even vpns/btguard ect will be useless; this is the feds after all, they'll break the encryption and be protected from lawsuits

I'm sure they will have their top cryptologists in the FBI working around the clock to crack down on it.

There won't be any lawsuits going round due to this, only infringement notices from the ISP's and restrictions. The restrictions are what you should be worried about.

This is dumb as fuck, there goes our privacy.

Then again, if the thing you're doing is considered (at least for now) illegal, it's perfectly understandable that law enforcement has some measures to look into it. While piracy may not be the most severe offense, the same can be said for many other illegal things (drug trafficking, child pron, etc.). Would you be perfectly fine with this if piracy was replaced with one of the other things?

There never was any privacy on the internet. You may hide behind a name to the world, but the people running the website still know who you are. They just don't have any reason to contact you when you say "This SUCKS!!!"
