- econoar, on 10/12/2007, -5/+173What do you mean? I love downloading songs that turn out to sound like a 3 year old ripped them onto a hard drive by singing them while playing AM radio static in the background
- MercedRocks, on 10/12/2007, -4/+155Reason number 1 million and one why not to use Gnutella and eDonkey :-)
- Trebert, on 10/12/2007, -20/+136RIAA just stop suing people and make some good music people want to buy
- arkanebeats, on 10/12/2007, -5/+114People still use Gnutella and eDonkey?!
- Bob042, on 10/12/2007, -0/+88I wonder if this method will eventually cause them to file a case against themselves? It would certainly be humorous.
- NoOneButMe, on 10/12/2007, -7/+88without reading.. here's my guess:
1. download *.torrent
2. open torrent
3. take screenshots of the peers page?
/edit: read, and i was right ^_^ - eridius, on 10/12/2007, -5/+84You do realize this article is not about the RIAA, right? It's a completely unrelated company pursuing piracy charges for something completely unrelated to music.
- code_of_life, on 10/12/2007, -4/+66is Dream Pinball 3D any good? any torrents?
- dudad, on 10/12/2007, -3/+65Here is my IP address:
65.21.217.101
Track it. Find me. Sue me. I dare you.
Chances are it's my neighbors wireless network, a proxy, or a non static IP. - Dumbledorito, on 10/12/2007, -1/+57"Yer honor, I'm sorry I left my router as open as a hooker's legs during shore leave, but it does explain all them teenagers with laptops parked outside of my house at all hours, yellin' about how the em-pee-ay-ay can go lick goats and what-not."
- steven401, on 10/12/2007, -4/+59@bnoxiousasshole
...Because everyone uses a proxy to send bulk gigabytes of data. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+53it was my neighbor stealing my wireless!
- dtd00d, on 10/12/2007, -6/+56They'd never make the same kind of money.
- gheide, on 10/12/2007, -2/+40If someone "hacks" your wireless network, how is it your reponsibility (and education) to have the "latest firewall and anti-virus software" as well as a secure network?? Even the most literate computer geek can be hacked and their system compromised and used for file-sharing... it happens all over the net. If someone breaks into my house, steals my gun and uses it to kill someone, am I guilty of murder?
- jackyyll, on 10/12/2007, -6/+43You mean TOR doesn't stand for Torrent Over pRoxy!?
- vsujohn2, on 10/12/2007, -1/+31"The claim is that the “File Sharing Monitor” is totally foolproof and that it can provide forensic-quality information to a court in order that file-sharers be punished."
Kind of like how the RIAA likes to sue people who dont have computers? Their system must be foolproof too - seti, on 10/12/2007, -0/+29Hey that is my IP address!!! are we using the same TOR exit server?, proxy..? I am not in SF but in NYC
- CheapDigWannbe, on 10/12/2007, -0/+29Your honor, we have DNA proof that the knife found on 72 Some St. has been used to murder the victim. Thus the individual living in the house is guilty!
Oh I wonder where the lawsuits will end up with this logic... - Cymrubeats, on 10/12/2007, -6/+30Most of the bands i like aren't raped by the RIAA anyway it seems.
http://www.riaaradar.com/search.asp - bergur1, on 10/12/2007, -2/+26in a nutshell...yes
I thought it was interesting though about how it automatically does a WHOIS and sends the infringing peoples info to the ISP and a cease and desist letter. - widman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+22Reason number 1 million and one why to use a blocklist.
Get the level 1 list from http://www.bluetack.co.uk/forums/index.php
For example now is level1_12.04.07.zip http://w13.easy-share.com/990213.html
Rename the file to ipfilter.dat
utorrent: copy to /%AppData%/uTorrent/ (e.g. /Documents and Settings/user/Application Data)
emule: copy to //Program Files/emule/conf/)

For Gnutella there's a new list on Bluetack, gnutella.txt. - fuzzmeister, on 10/12/2007, -4/+19I wonder if you could argue that since your computer only uploads parts of the file when you use Bittorrent, it falls under "fair use". It'd be a long shot, but it's possible.
- NoOneButMe, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15Er.. you'd still need some way for the end-user to decrypt the file. 'encrypting' it is pointless. they'd get the decryption key the same way you would.
- resplence, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15The "villain" website: http://www.logistepag.com/en/index.php
What's with the batman logo?
(as I post this, a vile thought crosses my mind: would their servers survive digg effect?) - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+15zomg its just that easy!
- fuzzmeister, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14Wow, it's pretty obvious that a designer was only involved in the top half of that site.

# ARIN WHOIS database, last updated 2007-04-14 19:10
# Enter ? for additional hints on searching ARIN's WHOIS database. - seti, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13Explain to your lawyer what is Tor, let him know that your are running a Tor server in your PC. Case dismissed.
- CheapDigWannbe, on 10/12/2007, -3/+16RIAA make some music? This company has nothing to do with music... Nothing at all "Its mission is to foster a business and legal climate that supports and promotes our members' creative and financial vitality." Basically they do the same for musicians, what Russian mafia does for small business. They go to their clients, scare them ***** less by saying how if they don't pay them for "fostering," business will be destroyed by unequal competition and robbers. The business owners or musicians will be stripped of their rights, beaten, and left with nothing.
(quote from: http://www.riaa.com/about/default.asp ) - SyberMile, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11so now it there gonna sue for downloading a part of a file that is copy protected so should the fbi go to home depot and arrest them for selling parts of bombs and meth cooking sounds about the same to me?
- veracon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10@code_of_life:
http://isohunt.com/download/13963473/dream+pinball - manifestdestiny, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11...except that it says in the PDF that it's the user's responsibility to encrypt their network and insure no illegal activity is going on. ie: go ***** yourself and give us your money
- Achilles, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11Yeah, PG2 isn't full proof
...unless you believe public (a.k.a. readily open to even government agencies) ip block lists make for beautiful tinfoil hats - jcaino, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11hell, that'd be ironic.
- Agret, on 10/12/2007, -3/+12Stay away from Exetel & Internode.
Exetel block your access to the net when they receieve a DCMA letter.
Internode limit the speed of torrents. - sinembarg0, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1310 seconds later:
You live in or near San Francisco and your ISP is Critical Path. Now all I have to do is call Critical Path in SF and tell them your IP address and give them a time and date and 'proof' of infringement, and I'll have your name, address, and phone number. Enough to sue you. - nepawoods, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10Inaccurate title. "This is How We Catch You Downloading" ... but they don't catch downloaders. The article is about how they catch those who host files to share. The difference is significant. How they catch downloaders ... have they ever? I don't think so.
- jackyyll, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10Hmm yeah.. I think i only got caught when uploading... Last time i be a good BT user!
- Vipersfate, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9That's the exact thing I was thinking. I'm still wondering how they found me :(
- insovietrussia, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8Joe is right, Internode do not enforce any kind of packet prioritisation.
Bigpond, Optus and Exetel on the other hand do throttle torrent traffic. Optus and Exetel will cancel your account for DMCA infringement notices, even though DMCA has no legal jurisdiction in Australia - go figure. - steven401, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Like Wildhoney said above, most ISPs keep track of your account number and what IP addressed you've been assaigned and when, I presume.
- akaii, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7If I keep my wireless network open to everyone, I wonder which one of my 50 neighbors are they going to sue.
- generalloy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8"user's responsibility to encrypt their network "
It's too bad all my neighbours still use WEP considering it can be hacked in 5 seconds.. - lateralus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7If the legal action is against people who enjoy playing pinball, then i'm all for it. Get these people off the streets by all means necessary.
- chenkersthecat, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7It's hard to get caught downloading illegal music when your neighbor doesn't even know that you're stealing their wireless internet.
- SamsLembas, on 10/12/2007, -6/+13Step 4: Realize they are all also RIAA employes
Step 5: Repeat - nick0909, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7sudo apt-get install aptitude
- widman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Forgot to mention many torrents download significantly faster using level1 blocklist. On top of spying on you the p2p-bots make your client waste time and resources.
- Rosco, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7"and make some good music people want to buy"
Preposterous! Why go through all of that work finding new talent, when you got crap like "American Idol" pumping out carbon copy Pop Stars who all look alike and sound alike. It'll never happen, because all the mindless white suburban kiddies all follow the same thing like Lemmings. - an0nymous, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Well, crap. If it says it's my responsibility in the pdf. then it must be so. Drats! I better just pay.
