Don't they already track people on public torrent sites anyways? I know HBO and NBC have been pretty aggressive about sending DMCAs to people downloading from public trackers.

What I Don't Like Is The $35 Filing Fee.

What If Your Providing A Service Like Tor & Someone Uses It To Download Something, You Then Get Flagged. You Have To Pay To Clear Your Name. You Should Be Able To Provide That Service Without Having To Worry About Your ISP Cutting You Off.

Not That I Am In The US Nor Do I Have To Worry About This Yet.

I can see increase in private trackers and proxy, and encryption.

thats why we love tpb all of torren trackers need to transfer to eu or ru hk servers

How do they know which file you are transferring? Would renaming these files make them undetectable? Or do they look inside the files? Cuz it couldn't be that hard to make a tracker which lists files properly but has a different name connected to the .torrent correct?
cheers

No, that wouldn't work. There are hashes on each file being shared, and that is what identifies the parts you have. The names really don't mean that much since the Industries essentially get on the trackers and download particular files that they want to see some money for. These tend to be big-name bombs that are deeply in the hole in terms of profit. These "agencies" then send out multitudes of letters to ISPs that are known by the IP addresses that show up in BT clients. Those (so far) dumb enough to reply get entangled in proving their innocence or paying a "small fee" to make their "legal troubles" go away. It's a huge scam, and now it seems EVERYONE who gets a letter will have to pay a minimum of $35 to prove their innocence.

Hell of a fucking scam- either you pay a large amount, or you pay $35 to clear your name. Either way, they get 2X the cost of a DVD for every letter sent out.

I'm not trying to get off topic here but , torrenting/downloading is really the only reliable way to see the media that you only want to see once.

For instance I've had accounts with netflix and blockbuster and they are quite unreliable at times. Let's say you want to see a tv series. Well they will have the series for rent but , two of the discs are unqueueable because they don't have disk 3 and 5 of a six disc set.

The legit services are so shitty and they wonder why torrents are so popular. WAKE UP MPAA!! It's because they offer a better service!!

I've gone the legit route and it's a pain in the fucking ass half the time. You spend money and don't get what you want.
Or you can torrent and get exactly what you want for free.

It's you own fault things are the way they are.
