VM thoughtfully provide their own binary newsgroups at no extra cost – get your illegal downloads straight from VM’s servers and avoid the BPI.

Hi All,

Yep good ol’ days of Blueyonder

cable have gone… Virgin are here!

If you’re looking for an excellent

ISP to change from Virgin… then

i would highly recommend Plusnet.

Check out there dealS!

In the past i have used BT, Pipex (terrible) and Blueyonder…

PLUSNET is everything you want &

expect from a good ISP.

COMPLETELY TRANSPARENT….

No small print! No Throttling!

No bull-crap! You get what you see!

Interesting comments,

I would honestly say that VM are not that bad! (shoot me now if you please).

Like most ISP’s problems do occur.

The whole P2P and copyright issue is complex. Personally I do download, but only to see if I like the movie etc, then either buy or not. I guess its a bit like trialing before you buy.

I really do not see though how they can track your IP address if you play a bit clever, for example some firewalls will hide the last octet of your IP address, therfore you cannot be traced. Also there is other programs available such as peer guardian though I am not overly familiar with it.

An interesting situation would be for a court summons for downloading a movie .. what if you then went out and bought it …… I dont see how the average downloader could be brought to book as a backup is quite legal, there is of course also the point that your orginal and paid copy could be damaged. The actual physical DVD might be unplayable but you as the customer still own a right to watch and keep the movie for personal use .. so would it be illigal to then download ….?

In my opinion this is a minefield that simply cannot be managed, it is time for reform in both the law and of course how services and products are distributed!

funny how these company’s think they can stop all p2p sharing when country’s that are not within there realm of governing cant be charged with a crime. i mean there is no U.N. front on the crimes of piracy and if there is and im just not informed, they should serously think of something better to spend are money on then this shit. I.E. the price of fucking oil. i just spent 48 dollars on 11 gal. that didnt even fill my truck

Is there anyway to make Vuze safe to use against VM?

I need to get my Lost fix ;- >

Or anyone point me to a guide to use encryption and not let them track me?

Ta!
