so what happens when the riaa or the mpaa asks these people for your details. they will be obliged to give them your details since they do not wanna get in shit.

you are a paying customer and they will have all your detials no need to contact any isp's now is there.

good idea in theory but the fact you have to pay for the account makes it no longer anon.

Very interesting point.

"... Lawyers made us say that. In truth we keep NO records. NONE! AnonX
does NOT know what you are surfing, downloading, sharing, hacking, etc.
AnonX does NOT even keep track if you have ever logged into AnonX
servers. And of course, we do not keep your name or any personal info in
any form. If anyone requests records we would NOT be able to produce
them because we do NOT keep records, log, databases, etc..... ..."

I hope that it so - and 5 Dollar is quite cheap, I think.

If anyone can guess where I ripped that off from I'll give you,...... 2 Cents/Pence... whatever.

the simpsons, you ripped it off of grandpa simpson in specific


as to somthing more on topic, this sounds really good to me, but I do not know if i do enough file sharing for this to be worth it for me... is road runner good about protecting their clients from the riaa? or they turn them over easily?

[Bobohiotk]

I'll answer that question. Road Runner is owned by Time/Warner. Time Warner is a prominent client of RIAA. You connect the dots. Also, look at the list of subpoenas that have been issued by RIAA. Look at the userid's of some of the unfortunates that have been fingered. True, there are not as many from rr as there are from other ISP's. But, they do exist.

Sometime in the the past on this board, someone had put forth the hypothesis that rr didn't have to comply with requests from the RIAA because it was in their best interest to 'capture the market' by providing the impression that rr was safe while other ISP's were vulnerable. And since Time-Warner was such a major player in the business, they essentially established themselves as immune from enquiry by the RIAA (the implication being that the RIAA and Time Warner deliberately set it up that way). Whether this is true or not is really inconsequential. The bottom line is that for $5.95 monthly, you can have peace of mind. Is there anyone out there who wouldn't pay $5.95/mo for peace of mind? If you can't afford it, you have no business even being involved in any of this.

JB has indicated that he uses a pre-paid credit card for Paypal. Recognize that to do this correctly, EVERY step and every act must be anonymous. The card should be purchased with cash, the online account should use a fictitious name, the initial setup on the computer should be done in such a way that one's identity is concealed, and when possible, accounts should be established via telephone (but not your home phone please&#33. Why is this imortant? Because if something does go wrong, one doesn't want someone else to have the ability to trace everything back to you. If that were to happen then a subpoena could be on it's way to you.

[AnonXO]

There are no bandwidth limits or download/upload ratio. Just a customer to bandwidth allocation of 1.5Mbs. Each customer CAN exceede these limits. Most can not.

ADSL has limits of 256-280Kbs down / 128Kbs up. Just the physical limits of two copper wires. Cable is a little better because there is more bandwidth to work with.

Now to complicate things many ISP bandwidth manage customers by burst rates and caps limits. Both of these are tied to your usage and the usage of the collective pipe that the ISP uses to service your area. This makes things difficult at best to compare connection speed from one minute to the next. Unless you do your suring/p2p during of hours.

mmm after a more in-depth reading of the recent posts i did NOT use a pre-paid credit card.

i paid the service in my name with my own credit card

so.... am i screwed?

anonx i thought you said the pay accounts are not linked to my user account on the server...right..???

dont do this to me i got a weak heart

[james_bond_rulez]

woah i just had a da je vu!! it's like i thought of this question but forgot and now it resurfaces again

damn i lost it again.....


so am i screwed?

oh yes it came back...how the heck am i to know such things as "pre-paid credits cards" ever existed?

[tracydani]

LOL, I didn't know either. Can you really get a credit card without giving out your personal info? (and I mean in a legal way)

If you can, I am gonna do this, but if not, I will still get the service thorough paypal. I still belive adding that extra step of protection is what is gonna save you. They can still get you, but unless you make yourself really wanted, they will most likely go the easier route.

Hell, even if you can pay annonymously, they can still get you if they really want to.

[IWishAnon2609]

But, the only way I can see them getting to you is through AnonX (there may be other ways, but thats over my head), and if AnonX really don't keep ANY logs how could they get you. Any say, hypothetically they did keep logs (not saying you do AnonX, I believe you), then they would have logged your IP address. Your paypal account would probably make it alittle easier to get you, but your IP would also be enough, so if they log then I don't think it would make much difference, and if they don't log, yipee. That is unless you have one of those rare cool ISPs that will fight and do their best to refuse your information being given out... but then maybe paypal wouldn't divulge your info either??

in which case you wouldnt need this proxy
