I want to see a p2p client that auto detects RIAA etc then blocks them while also sending spoofed packets back telling them to connect to other detected anti-p2p companies and watch the chaos.

After all if their constantly changing their ip addresses to keep out of block lists how are they gonna keep track of each other ^_^

Already companies are devising ways round this. I found FilesWire the other day, there system is web-based so could be used from any internet connected computer. By spreading p2p usage between a few computers the powers that be will have to step up there efforts 3 fold to quantify indivisual p2p bandwith usage. You can find Web Based P2P Here

Well this is sad for the antip2p companies that does this, maybe they should look into another industry and try something new maybe something that doesn’t have todo with technology as much!

regards the nice antip2p dude :P

to Ben Jones the voice of the MAFIAA on torrentfreak:

if the title of the article was “how my printer received a DMCA notice” then you had a good and humorous article

however, the story wilted under your campaign against bluetack and ipfiltering

scientific method means everything to filesharers even if not to you. where are the study results and where are the test controls? where are the assumptions and limits? i say this report will make no change to anything

Does this mean those who didn’t settle out of court (if there are any) can get their money back or some form of compensatation? Their verdict was decided on false or unreliable evidence as a whole. I can’t see much other evidence they could provide on top off you were using this I.P on this Torrent at this time. I would expect my money back and more if it were me. Artists wouldn’t loose out if they had to pay back money as they never saw it anyway.

So wait, does this mean one can spoof the ip of some innocent person and get them in trouble for file sharing, even if they didn’t participate?

Lets spoof the IP of legislators until they get sued for filesharing. Maybe that will motivate them to change the law.

anyway, hopefully the anti-p2p comitees will do their usual job of being useless and not actually create a better way to track people uploading/downloading with less flaws. Or most peoples defence goes out the widnow ^_^

Although it’s well known that IP blocklists do not provide 100% protection, there are secondary benefits to using them.

It is because of the widespread use of blocklists that anti-P2P firms are forced to spend a lot more money, because effectively defeating blocklists requires the anti-P2P to set up a dynamic series of colocation servers all over the world.

The financial burden of this substantial expense may have contributed greatly to bankrupting MediaDefender.

For that alone, blocklists are a P2P’s best friend.

lol, point taken. Have a look at the code (100% open source) at http://code.google.com/p/kerjodando/ .

Post specific points to blog http://kerjodando.blogspot.com/ .

BTW I don’t think anonymous p2p is the total answer to sham DCMA notices. It is a work round for now.

The solution is to change the law so that like the UK BBC licence fee is used to compensate TV companies in UK, a similar fee is collected to compensate IP owners on the internet.

Governments to promote development should be promoting the free flow of information not aiding ludites to keep the status quo.

This study clearly shows, that anti-piracy groups are trying to manipulate people’s minds by using truly deceitful ways of collecting data on copyright infringers.
I am really glad, that there are people who can see through this bullshit and are not silent.

What does it mean to be law abiding?

Is it that you don’t break any law?

Can you break silly laws which harm no one?

Most people only come into contact with the law through traffic offences. There at least it is easy to see the point.

But sending legal notices to kids and young people to introduce them to the legal system is undernining the law.

Well,

again I might add that the Opentracker software (run on TPB’s trackers) has a build in feature against these “indirect-evidence” (a.k.a. bullshit) collecting, inserting random IP’s in the tracker answer. Obviously BayTSP et al. are either to stupid to reckon the effect of this feature on their “evidence” collection, or they are ignorand about it, which might open the way for ligitation against them. Just in case a interested laywer needs more info to kick some MAFIAA-enforcers rectum:

I think the media companies idea of a “three strikes and you’re out” policy is FANTASTIC!

When can we have the same policy introduced for the people sending the DMCA notices?

If their methods for tracking infringers is so great I’m sure they won’t mind being held to the same standard. :D

BUT LITTLE DID HE KNOW HE WAS BEING ‘TRACKED’ BY THE FEDS

AND NOW HE’S ON THE ‘FAST TRACK’ … STRAIGHT TO JAIL

“The research from the University of Washington confirm these vulnerabilities, as they got hundreds of infringement notices addressed to a printer.”

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA… hah… AHHAAHAH!

And the funniest part is, that printer has a higher chance of getting convicted than The Pirate Bay does.

Let us all join hands now and give our thanks that the MAFIAA and its hired thugs have the IQ of plankton.

BTW, this should make it much more difficult for the MAFIAA to abuse the court system in their persuit of criminally punishing the innocent. All a lawyer has to do is cite this study. The judge doesn’t have to have a clue about technology to know that something is seriously fucking wrong with their IP-collection method.

“You were sending DMCA complaints to a WHAT!?”

Yeah well BlueTack never said Blocklist manager was an all in one solution. It’s only effective at blocking IPs that are already identified. Like Anti-Virus programs aren’t a blanket protection against Virus and maleware.

“We have further demonstrated that IP blacklists, a standard method for avoiding systematic monitoring, are wholly ineffective given current identification techniques and provide only limited coverage of likely monitoring agents”

they’ve shows us shit cos every1 knows p2p blocklists aren’t fully effective and tbh i feel sad for the folks in the usa being sued for such shit at least its peaceful in eastern europe

Perhaps a cue could be taken from Doctorow’s novel Little Brother, and some jamming could be done? Get a spoofer, find a honeytrap torrent, and make it look like the whole world is downloading.

Useful information, i hope they can use it in some cases to get some of the poor souls who got caught up with the sue-the-world approach that the gangsters are using.
Maybe doing a setup of exactly what they did in the judges quarters and then wait while his printer gets these automated messages… after which take the same printer and bash the shit out of them the sniveling low down bastards for their lies.

Cheers!

Haven’t yet read the paper, but do they also tell for what things they go t DMCA notices?

For example, who’s copyright were they supposedly breaking, or maybe even more detail information like certain files or something.
