Why the fuck are people talking about MAC addresses? MAC addresses in the layer 2 header are replaced by the first router they hit. Nobody can get your MAC address by visiting them. Even if you connected to your ISP’s very first router, they’d only get your router’s MAC. Not the MAC of your PC.

Drop the MAC nonsense, it means nothing to the internet beyond low level routing shit you have no chance of understanding.

I’m not sure where all of you live, but Cox and Adelphia in California have been performing this for over a year. I’ve received two Cease &Desist-type notices from the ISP, and a friend who regularly downloaded movies received several as well. Unfortunately he didn’t monitor his ISP mail account to see them, foolishly kept seeding (didn’t know better) and they shut him off for seven days. This stuff is nothing new, and is primarly used by producers of new music or films who pay services like PeerGuardian to monitor download seeders for a few months immediately after new DVD, streaming or screen release. Encryption won’t help much as they simply look at your IP in the seed list. Proxies might, but downloading through proxies is a frustrating game. It’s real, it’s nothing new and it does work to prevent habitual seeders. They watch for continued seeding of a specific file over many hours.

However they are trying to control what people do via then net…and sadly I think is the first step. On the other hand can you truly ever completely stop piracy?

To even know for sure If a file is actually the content it proclaims it is would require the rights holders to download content they may not even have rights to, thus breaking the law.

Its all just a scare tactic. I wouldn’t give a shit if they sent me 1000 letters or emails. Just be proud that your wasting their time and money with this crap.

Who signs out anymore? My DSL modem and router are powered up and run 24/7. I’ve had the same IP for years.

[...] what I gather from the Cnet and Torrentfreak articles, ISPs will display some kind of pop-up warning on the offending user's computer screen. [...]
