    right which isnt hard to enforce within your client (the locks denote encrypted communication):

    Don't DL HBO that's what gets you. One of my friends is a hardcore BT user and has never gotten anything against him. He DLs one HBO episode and BAM he gets 7 letters sent to his house. Then he keeps DLing other stuff for about 6 months. And then DLs one HBO episode and his ISP blocks him. (he hated the ISP anyway, got a new one in 3 days).

    staying on private trackers is your safest bet.. i don't know about ireland, but i had the impression U.S. citizens were the ones being targeted. In canada, where I'm from, noone gets notices atm, at least to my knowledge

    Really the best advice atm!

    If I set up an end point in TOR I can with for example a sniff program get hold of your password/username/site etc when you login to it. But I don't think anyone doing this seriously is looking for bt tracker logins. But just don't login at anything with precious money involved.
    What an ordinary day, the extraordinary way.

    About the PeerGuardian... the lists are usually out-of-date. It's better to use ProtoWall's lists (or just ProtoWall).
    Lists can be found HERE. And easier way - Blocklists Manager.

    ah ya I'm not too worried about people on tor end-nodes sniffing my tracker http logins. OTOH, If you are authenticating to any service where precious money is involved in the clear (over tor or not) then you should be concerned.

    Democracy is only for the rich and powerful. They will never pass a law which would allow us to usurp our owners/leaders.
    Well said. Which is sad but very true.

    Excuse Me?

    From what I understand of tor, you wont be able to use it in private trackers as it hides your true Ip address. Are there any private trackers allowing the use of tor?
