Yeah, that and IRC... unless of course the servers you are using are owned by them.Originally Posted by Skizo
Newsgroups.
but yeah, even with peerguardian, anyone can find your IP address on bit torrent. Because you get the entire swarm's IPs without even connecting to all of them. And enabling/disabling DHT doesnt protect you in any way.
blah blah blah... whatever...
I personally use fulDC for anything that is not new new. Only thing I download from bitorrernt are new episodes of lost/ncis and every once in a while a new dvd.
What is fulDC and how can I learn more about it?
Pneuberator.
A fool's dream.
There's no such thing as "total safety", other than just not doing it. Period.
Nor would the data that you're trying to retrieve.
Therefore, you would never get it.
Nah. Us IT guys just walk up to em personally and tell em to knock their shit off or else we'll repo their PC and make em go back to pen & paper.
Then we go back to chewing up network bandwidth with online tourneys of Doom and Duke Nukem.
I am just a worthless liar. I am just an imbecile.
I will only complicate you. Trust in me and fall as well.
I will find a center in you. I will chew it up and leave.
I will work to elevate you just enough to bring you down.
When you use newsgroups to d/l, can the MPAA/RIAA log you?
and if they can is it practical for them at all... ?
Also, if they were to take a list of all the peers in the swarm, would they be able to prove
that you were actually downloading the file and not just reporting to the tracker or something,
without connecting to you?

With Usenet, most people upload nothing. It is current policy of the RIAA/MPAA only to take legal action against uploaders and not downloaders.When you use newsgroups to d/l, can the MPAA/RIAA log you?

When using newsgroups the MPAA/RIAA can't log you. You're making a direct connection to your company's server, no peers. The only way they could find out would be to sue that usenet carrier for your information, which most usenet carriers do not maintain. None the less, it would have to go to court and everyone and their grandma would know about it before it ever happened.
Usenet has been around since 1979. In it's 27 year history this has never happened. As such, I would think it is unlikely that it will happen any time soon.
With BT, from the swarm they could get all the information they need to take you to court if they want to. They can get your IP and how much of the file you currently have. If you have any percent of the file and you are connected to the swarm there is intent to distribute copyrighted material which is illegal. So they really have no need to connect to you directly.

I believe that you taking what I wrote out of context totally bastardized the point I was trying to make. You also added a word into my mouth that never was written.
I wrote...
"I believe there is still the option of not sharing anything with limewire and that equals total safety."
Currently, not sharing is safe. The MPAA/RIAA is not sueing those that only download. Their strategy is simple, cut off the head and the rest will die. By not sharing in these lower p2p apps you are doing the "powers that be", a favor by taking and not giving. It would destroy the network if everyone did it.

Sounds about right, I work as an Onsite Supporter and that is exactly what we do
