Arson? That’s laughable. Really?

Piracy is like dropping nuclear bombs and wondering why the rad-zombies are out to get them.

Take this analogy:

Within a terraced row of houses, one of the residents is playing copyrighted material. The resulting pressure waves cause the shared wall to vibrate in sympathy with the music, travelling along the entire row of houses. Are the the neighbouring properties guilty of retransmitting copyrighted material?

Actually if you have skype installed, you may get sued over helping a murderer? Because skype still uses some users as routing nodes to traverse NATs.. Wow thats funny! Its just the court in Hamburg b.t.w. they are known for such decicions, the case wont stand a chance at any other court in the country. OLG Köln recently made it clear, that parents can´t be held repsonsible if the children do fileharing and the parents have told them, that they are not allowed to do so.

So basically its not that bad whatsoever here.. There is a big number of cases over open wlans and so on, it mainly depends on the court what is decided! But in general they nowerdays tend to reject the case!

So, honest question or maybe matter of opinion, but I currently use Peer Guardian.. Since someone reakons it “doesn’t do shit” what would be the recommended program to use?
Our laws here in New Zealand are a little stranger after the whole Kim.Com fiasco..

“If you run software that does the equivalent to smuggling on the Internet…”

There is no such equivalent. None what so ever. The closest you could get is “software which allows unnamed parties to transmit untranslated information to other unnamed parties”.

By your definition, you have just rendered ALL of the internet impossible, since EVERY ISP, EVERY network router, and EVERY node in a network does exactly that.

The real world equivalent of your metaphor is that person A creates a joke and tells it to person B. Person B tells the same joke at a party. And you come along and compare it to “smuggling”. Nice little bit of utter irrelevance there…

On the internet, every link in the chain passes on information which it cannot interpret or decipher in any realistic way. Quite a lot of it in encrypted form. But you, you sad sack of stumbling ignorance, decide that unless the information is “accountable” at all steps, it is not legal to carry?

Do you even realize the monumental ramifications of what you are saying?

Any network expert, any form of tech support, and any IT-savvy teenager and up to internet gurus with sixty years of experience in transmitting data would be looking at you in a funny way were you to tell them what you blithely spewed on this forum in that comment.

Once and for all (again), NTP – go read a wiley book on networking for dummies so you at least have a bare-bones understanding of how things work.

You obviously don’t know how a VPN operates or under what liability.

This ruling will be overturned as in essence what it does is it legislates the internet out of existence. Say “fare-thee-well” to PGP and https if this one stands.

The university of washington wrote a paper proving the same – once they noticed that their laser printers and network routers were receiving “cease-and-desist” notices in bulk.

As I recall they came to the conclusion that even under the best of circumstances, ip adress notifications had a 13% error margin.
