Going by their own policy and law it is up to them to prove the accusation false, not the other way around.

Aside from that, Trident Media guard is talking complete and utter bull when they say their method is much better than that employed by YHD. They both rely on the same fundamentally flawed “evidence” to draw a conclusion.

Anyone making a statement on how it’s “impossible” to use torrent protocols from within an intranet obviously never spoke with the network tech in charge.

And the latter sentence tells me that someone within the government DID speak to a network tech and was enlightened as to the use of tunnels, simple proxies and of course, the use of nonstandardized setups.

Back in the golden olden days where network administrators and system superusers were more common you might have had a prayer at supervising what went down on your network but today? My guess is the french government is lucky if there is one part-time consultant they call in on a regular basis to restart the routers.

In order to achieve any form of network security, most organizations would have to up their IT overhead by at least an order of magnitude. And thus, police officers keep getting caught watching child porn on “supposedly secure” police networks and government officials are implicated in illegal filesharing as no organization wants to justify the expense of human supervision of the network.

Regardless of what really happened there, it’s obvious that I’m not responsible for part of the downloads. If I were in France I’d get a few dozen strikes.

BUT, BUT…. SECURE WI-FI! Tell that to all those cities with free connections all over the place ;)
