recent technological advances make it possible for the organisation to monitor file-sharing traffic and accurately determine users' IP addresses and whether the content being downloaded is illegal. It would be possible, for example, to tell if a copy of The Dark Knight was pirated or authorised by filmmakers who are among those using BitTorrent Entertainment Network for legal distribution. The model could easily be applied to music.

all people will do is use is IP address scramblers, so the people can't identify the computer.

Sounds like an account set up by the music industry to scare people or something.

Either way, good job banning it.

"IP address scramblers". Don't believe everything you see in the movies.


The constant pressure being put on ISP's and torrent tracker websites by companies like RIAA/MPAA isn't going to go on forever. In a few decades time the internet will be policed worse than the real world. Countries like Sweden will be forced to update their laws to make it impossible for sites like thepiratebay to operate, and the level of illegal file sharing that is going on today will drop dramatically and it will all turn underground, how it once was.

No chance mate.

Once they get up to such shinenigans, the average joe will just start encrypting his traffic. It's already started to happen with p2p.

Besides, you're talking about the entire Western world's governments going against the entire Western world's people.

And what happens when somebody sets up their torrent server in India or China instead? The courts and governments aren't even fully behind all this overzealous copyright nonsense themselves.

There might not be IP scramblers, but IPs were never very reliable in the first place, and if you're encrypting your data they have no clue what's going through it.

There are subtle clues and hints about what type of data it is, of course, but when they start delving into that they open up a whole new can of privacy violation worms.

In ten years time, we'll be in a war with Terminators guys...copyright will be the least of our worries!

 

[strjms72]

Yeah and not even now copyright isn't one of the world's government main concern, there are bigger things to worry about, all the fuss is being made by the companies that draw the income, therefore the losses caused by file sharing. Besides there is a long way from tracking your ip or whatever to solid court-worthy prooves.

Yeah, peerguardian totally scrambles your IP. I'll scramble your dad.

All good points.

 

[Slidey]

Darknets are fine as long as the person you rent your cables from doesn't object.

There was a massive p2p darknet at ANU till 2008 when they shut it down. Fuckers.

They will never win, its called revolution. Happy downloading everyone =)

 

[Slidey]

You really think so? I hope so too, but places like China have massive censorship programmes and filters in place on the internet, but their citizens seem far too scared for revolution.

 

[Enteebee]

I'm mainly worried about shady porn producers in south africa sending me a bill :S

 

[HalcyonSky]

apparently the US government already has a massive e-patriot act written out, and are waiting for a large scale event of cyber-terrorism to take place so that they can impose it. (http://www.yff365.com/profiles/blog/show?id=2162281:BlogPost:5863)

but thats np emytaylor can code me an IP SCRAMBLER

 

[Slidey]

You can mock her terminology all you want, but she wasn't far off the mark: all sorts of technologies exist to obfuscate your location and encrypt your data from prying eyes.

But yeah, big business and multinational corporations have a disturbing grip on politics in America.
