Or you could just not really give a fuck. But then again, you properly followed it with an idiotic suggestion, followed by a more obvious and unrelated one. This was an obvious post and a self-referencing statement.Quote:

They are a big pile of suck, what's worse is many times they're the only game in town. I gave up on internet and cable for a period of time (before the whole antipiracy movement), so whereas Comcast is the evil ex, phone company DSL was the psycho infatuated girl you try to shake off immediately after getting into her nether zones.Quote:

Their shaping is protocol agnostic now. And only lasts 15 minutes at a time.
Plus, they have the same 3 strikes rule that all the other major ISPs.
Yes. As macky says below your post, I have two choices- the phone company (which I used to have, but got so pissed with them over a $20 discrepancy, and their switching me to M$ DSL without my consent that I canceled ALL of my services with them. And Concast which makes my skin crawl to have to send them a cent (it's a lot more than that, but if I looked at the bill, I would :sick: ) each month.Quote:

I was actually considering mooching/hacking my neighbors' wireless accounts before the moral police around here made me reconsider...
sounds kinda excessiveQuote:
1. IP blocking software
2. Use smaller, private trackers instead of MEGA sites as much as possible
3. Avoid Big-Budget, Box-Office Bombs as they are DMCA notice magnets
4. Seed for 3-4 days, and cut off the torrent
5. Reduce the number of unnecessary seeding you are doing. Currently, I have over 100 files seeding- that's a lot more chances of getting a notice than say 10-15.
6. If you receive a notice, do nothing other than implement safe practices #'s 1-5 (above). Protesting the notice will only lead to your info being handed over to the MPAA/extortion-based lawyers involved
id suggest 2 variants:
I
- move to newsgroups
-TrueCrypt all hard disk drives+a system drive(password+key)
II
- get a decent VPN (not US based) that is secure and not expensive)
-TrueCrypt all hard disk drives+a system drive(password+key)
= authorities can go fuck themselves up their greedy asses.

Thank you both for the info, and trust me, stealing your neighbor's Wi-Fi wasn't really a good idea.Quote:

you never know=) it is always good to have all the actual "evidence" (not we-caught-your-ip-address-downloading lame sh!it) that might hurt you hidden from the mafia and authoritiesQuote:
to have their homes raided to justify drive encryption
i dont see a problem here tbh i have all my hdd truecrypted though i didnt use a password, just a key file that consists of a number of files of different extensions(some song some images whatever looks not suspicious).
why would i want to destroy my stuff if i could have it perfectly protected.Quote:
o instantly degauss your disks?
ive always wondered how would i define this act of profound stamina and flexibility...Quote:

we've got autofellatio, right.. self-ass-fucking? Doesnt sound good :D
Everyone says truecrypt, but it depends where you live
95% sure that if you are in the UK, and you have your drives encrypted, and you dont give them the info to get into them, its a 5 year prison term, just for that, when for copyright infringement you may get a slap on the wrist and a £200 fine (really worth it, I think not)
The best idea given here. +1.Quote:

Changing the modem's MAC is possible via reflashing the firmware, but I honestly have no idea if you could clone someone else's modem and use that as long as they're offline. And it sounds a bit too easy...Quote:

I've been getting into networking lately and this idea rocks my mind right now, so I'd like to know more..
Even if they're offline, isn't their modem still online and its MAC address considered as being active and online, unless the modem is plugged out/turned off?Quote:

That's what I meant with offline. :)Quote:

You're way off with what I meant. An ISP can't do anything with an IP address. It has to prove the IP address is used in an illegal manner to incriminate you. Even then the next hurdle is proving that it's actually you carrying out the illegal activity.Quote:

It's over-reaching but I'd rather stay on top of my game when I'm carrying out illegal activity instead of falling back on "as if they'd ever go that far."
It's a very intensive exploit, but it exists.Quote:

TL has the best retention of all trackers on the web, you can still use it for old releases as your ISP will never send you a letter for a 5 years old movie.Quote:

I'm guessing he means TL and IPT are so easy to get in they're like a public tracker to him.
