Since, as i’ve said, there’s been no user civilly sued for using torrent at all, and only one user in total actually gone through court, and that’s goign to a retrial, no-one’s been prosecuted whilst using blocklists, in the US where the majority of these suits hapen.

However, as far as notices go, yes, lots of them. just 2 minutes on peerguardian’s forum got me this link, where someone has had 3, and there are others on there. Don’t bother looking on bluetack’s forum though, you can see them, if they’ve just been posted, but then they seem to mysteriously ‘vanish’ – strange that.

what u say?

marred only on a single point, i disagree with your position on blocklists. yours is a counsel of perfection. there is no anonymity for internet users and it works both ways. it is not a reason to abandon blocklists because the bluetack lists are not perfect, on the contrary, if the major issues are the completeness or accuracy of the lists then let’s work with that and find a solution. knowing the limitations of a system is part of understanding the system

the blocklists perform an important function and they do that well. they make it more difficult, more expensive, to fuk with p2p systems. if you asked the anti-p2p lobby which they would prefer they will answer “a world with no blocklists”

that is where your credentials as a spokesman for p2p are not good. criticism is all good but throwing the baby out of the window with the bath water is nonsense. the enemies of p2p are anti-blocklist

i prefer to block 64% of the internet than permit a single bad ip to access my system

You argue that blocklists slow you down and increase the time you are on the torrent, thus increasing the chance of being logged. You then argue against using private sites later on.
Just in case you are one of those who still believes TPB is faster than private sites, here’s a news flash:
Using TPB can increase the time you are downloading from minutes to days!

Piracy is…well…wrong, and we all know it. But the RIAA, MPAA and their ilk are utterly evil in their actions on this. Basic rights are at stake, and these capitalists-run-amok need to be stopped.

Off the soapbox…

First i wanted to track hits. For this I used peer guardian to create a list of all connections in and out.

The Dns reverse host names that appeared shows that monitoring of torrents has been stepped up greatly.

Ben Jones’s just trying to remove the misconception that bluetack provides safety against anti-P2P. You might be right about the trojans, data-mining, etc but the noobs you don’t want that. They want P2P immunity.

So basically you two agree with each other so no need to throw cups full of STFU at each other.

So here goes.

In the U.S (whose laws the article is based on), entrapment is not only applicable to law enforcement officers (those with powers of arrest).

supreme.justia.com/us/360/423/
3 convictions ruled to breach the 14th amendmant because of entrapment by state officials.

supreme.justia.com/us/356/369/
Conviction reversed because of entrapment by an unpaid informer.

There’s a slight issue with the entrapment part of the article though, so may email you about it.

I get strange names trying to connect sometimes. “south Korea blah blah blah”, just random obtuse sounding shit.

A lot of it sounds fake to me.

Also, ‘Anarchynow’:
“NUKE U$A NOW !”

you can suck my American dick, you douche-drinking asshole.

Look I stated an insult without being a addle-brained fucktard, and without using a blanket statement condoning mass murder on a whole nation, just because I dont like their bullshit politics.

That is a hell of a run-on sentence though. But yeah, go fuck yourself, “anarchynow”. Just you…..not your whole country (which is obviously blessed to have you as a citizen).
