Windows has a lot to answer for, I’m afraid. Usually the issue is not with your proxy, but by the fact that having ipv6 established causes two threads to go out – one ipv4 with DNS resolution over your proxy.
The other, being ipv6, goes on your regular provider, revealing where you tried to go…

Netflix in Australia.
All of Germany, thanks to GEMA.

Before you can even START, you’ll need to kill, in fire, a great many collection societies in whose interests it is to MAINTAIN the strife between the various large copyright holders.

Because they can’t. The copyright cult is like a loose coalition of ravenous cannibals who, if nothing else is in their sights, will cheerfuly eat their own children.

Case in point, Netflix and Hulu. barred from many regions because the local copyright cult chapter has a license on distribution in perpetuity. Every last one of these fiefdoms is hoarding their golden eggs, steadfastly refusing any cooperation with others.

Or, in some cases (GEMA comes to mind) refusing any cooperation BECAUSE local law gives them a monopoly on the distribution on ANY media, copyright holder be damned.

In short, copyright will die out because the vested interests are unable to come to any form of sensible agreement which would render them unable to double-dip the end consumer five times over.

THIS kind of information? Yes indeed, it has made quite a few of us consider things in a balanced way. Mainly it’s made us consider what sort of inhuman monster tends to be drawn to the copyright cult.

The legality of the copyright holder’s discovery of alleged infringers is highly questionable and the data retention period of these items is not documented. i.e. while the ISPs may only hold the data for 12 months the copyright holders agents may hold it for considerably longer. It is possible that the discovery technology breaches the ECHR right to privacy even after taking clause two into account; I’d like to see that tested. The location of the storage has not been documented and the prime agent is a US corporation and thus subject to FISA and Patriot Act warrants.

I believe that the DE Act will never become law. The copyright holders don’t want to pay for it since the courts said that making the Telcos do so is illegal under the EU single market laws and while British politicians wont put disconnection without a court order into the law.

I hope that the politicians learn that the reason we have parliamentary committee scrutiny is to stop bad law. I am doubtful that it’ll happen.

The best way to promote legal alternatives to piracy is to actually DEVELOP LEGAL ALTERNATIVES TO PIRACY. We “pirates” have been screaming into empty air for a decade what “alternatives” we’d be willing to put our money down for, and the industry cabal refuse to listen and continue to keep trying to come after people and hammer them down, claiming it’s their way or the highway. They’ve only themselves to blame for the outcome of that policy.
