    IP blocking programs work. They work because your ip in a tracker doesn't amount to anything. They need a response from your bt client saying torrent with hash blah blah is here. Why? Because people's ip changes, your ip 2 hours ago could be someone else's now. If you changed your IP 5 mins ago and safenet decided to check if that ip is running bittorrent it wouldn't get any response. What good is that IP to them? If they send a letter now even though they didn't get a response they might as well send random letters based on random ip's.

    The question is do they block all the ip's they use? I dont know but i guarantee you that is it MUCH safer to block them. There's only 2 reasons why someone would post for you to not use ip blocking programs. One being they work for them or 2 their ip is on the list.
