This DPI in most probability works by the following: Hashing is done by specialized hardware, so it does not slows down routing. Hashing not the complete file, only fixed size of blocks of it, and checking not only the hash values, but their order of appearance too!! So a collision is after checking n blocks is the probability of the original hash collision on the power of n. Pretty unlikely, but that is why it will never work on torrent and it will never work on encrypted transfers either. That’s a lot of money thrown out the window…

(And if they are not doing it like this, they are damn fools because hash functions do collide that’s the whole point.)

If i remember correctly wouldnt compressing files in a .rar or .zip archive change the hash value of the file(s) making it nearly impossible to tell that there is illicit media contained in the archive and ‘copyrouter’ could only go by the name of the file

enigmax, I can only laugh at your incompetence. You don’t really know anything at all about Gnutella, do you? Gnutella had implemented swarming long before BitTorrent became popular which was only around 2003 along with Suprnova. Gnutella can do everything BitTorrent does and even much more. It isn’t one bit less efficient that BitTorrent. It’s just that people LOVE HYPE and Monopolies. Mac OS X! iPhone! iTunes! eBay! PayPal! Obama! You see people only ever want exactly ONE thing, no matter how good and worthwhile the alternatives are. The only real problem ever with Gnutella was the spam in search results but BitTorrent has no search function. Duh! Oh and don’t tell me garbage about fairness. BitTorrent was never fair. Every single client supports leeching with a horrible ratio of 1000:1. BitTorrent is simply the Windows of P2P. It’s not all that great and in part even completely retarted but because nobody bothers to look further because it works somehow more or less, they are stuck with it and some even think it invented it all.

this bullshit system won’t work, more and more people are using strong encryption systems, bittorrent is coming to it and freenet is here to last, so they will never ever be able to find anything in the end, they’ll lose

Not sure how many ISPs would go for this, as they are generally tech savvy, and implementing such a system would be costly (as we are all fully aware).

However, politicians can be easily fooled by technologists, so I’m sure they’ll be able to at least milk some money out of this.

Most politicians have no idea what Skype is, never mind the intricacies of P2P protocols.

copyrouter is good for stopping child porn

copyrouter does not work on bittorrent

thus, bittorrent is good for sharing child porn???

tsk tsk torrent freak, tsk tsk.

on a serious note though, do you even need to download torrent files? can’t you just like right click a link and add it manually through your torrent client?

Your dumb retard: If you knew anything about hashing you would know that many algorithms can produce a hash that’s impossible to duplicate with different files.

“Torrent site admins already do Copyrouter’s job for it in this respect. At no charge.”

with the notable exception of thpiratebay who refuse to take down anything including child pornography and child autopsy

Anyway, BitTorrent support protocol encryption between peers, so packet inspection is useless at that point.

Just put up a website detailing who the people are who work at these stupid companies.

That way we can mock them to their faces, emails, and phones rather than ranting on our own websites that they never read.
