Can you still get noticed if you use file hosting and not torrenting? And if what you’re downloading is let’s say, international music that is not licensed by any US companies, is it technically ‘illegal downloading’ under US law?

Obama is not the root-cause. This shite has been coming on for a while now. If Willard the Mormon gets into office…his strict ideals will create major oppression for us all! You want to know why Bush didn’t fool with this type of issue? Its because he was busy creating another oil war! Have you ever watched “Loose Change?” Over 56% of Americans now believe Bush was behind 9/11! The other reason is because the cable co. didn’t know how to bust us etc.

Btw…have you watched the documentry called: ” We are Legion?” yet? I was so damn impressed with the groups mission…I joined it! Perhaps “Anonymous - “Why We Protest.net!” may jump in on this one as its taking away one of our freedoms! “Anonymous” had the balls to take on Scientology so they can easily handle this issue. I guess until then…we use Cox and/or PVN etc. I know one thing…we must stand up against the powers-that-be! I just watched the V for Vendetta movie again and it frightened me! Guess its time for me to buy my own V for Vendetta Guy Fawkes mask…..Safety in numbers…eh? Btw…I got my first “love note” via Time Warner today. Yup…strike ONE for me! (Muhahahah)

um, yeah well of those VPN providers log. Even the so called ones that say they don’t in Sweden.

There’s even an article on Torrentfreak about this. Do a search.

You’re myths about VPNs that don’t log are false.

They all log even when they don’t directly state so.

[...] adopted a “six-strike” policy that would aim to curb illegal downloads. While some commentary has labelled the move as “unfair” MediaCom has decided to initiate a stricter 3-strike policy with an eventual life-time ban.At the [...]

I’ve been told by a few anonymous representatives, that the 6 strikes thing probably will never come to fruition, it keeps getting delayed. It was originally supposed to go live in May, was pushed back to June, was then pushed back to August because of the traffic increase due to ‘Summer Break’ and has now been pushed back until November. The ISPs are afraid to pull the trigger, they’re waiting for this mythical perfect time, when in reality, no such time exists. It’s a bad plan, it’s gonna piss people off and they know it.

Usenetstorm.com

There is a download limit (500mb), but you get around that by just splitting up your NZB when it’s too large.

Tor is not designed for terabytes of downloading, and you would probably cripple the network if you did

Wrong…

Six strikes violates the law. Just because it is a private corporation does not mean they get to do whatever they want.

I’m an idiot so to make certain the six strikes-copyright alert system is ONLY targeting stuff like torrents, peep 2 peer not things like direct downloads and downloads off filelocker sites like mediafire or rapidshare?
