Can they detect if they are illegal or not if i'm using torrents?
Net providers begin warning of illegal downloads
WASHINGTON (AP) — Internet users who illegally share music, movies or television shows online could soon receive warning notices from the nation's five major Internet service providers.
The Copyright Alert System, organized by the recording and film industry, is being activated this week to target consumers using peer-to-peer software.
Under the new system, complaints will prompt an Internet service provider — such as Verizon or AT&T — to notify a customer whose Internet address has been detected sharing files illegally. A person will be given up to six opportunities to stop before the Internet provider will take more drastic steps, such as temporarily slowing their connection, or redirecting Internet traffic until they acknowledge they received a notice or review educational materials about copyright law.
Consumers who maintain they have been wrongly accused would be forced to pay $35 to appeal the decision. The fee would be reimbursed if they prevail.
Proponents say the focus is on deterring the average consumer rather than chronic violators. The director of the organization behind the system, Jill Lesser of the Center for Copyright Infringement, said in a blog post Monday that the program is "meant to educate rather than punish, and direct (users) to legal alternatives."
Each Internet provider is expected to implement their own system. The program gives each customer five or six "strikes" after a music or film company has detected illegal file-sharing and lodged a complaint. The first alerts are expected to be educational, while the third and fourth would require the customer to acknowledge that they have received the warnings and understand their behavior is illegal. The final warnings are expected to lead to "mitigation measures," such as slowing a person's Internet connection speeds.
Officials involved in the effort acknowledge it's unlikely to stop the biggest violators. There are ways to disguise an IP address or use a neighbor's connection that is unlocked. Public wireless connections, such as those offered at coffee shops, also won't be monitored.

Yeah, if a studio, website, or developer sees your IP downloading/sharing something they have a copyright to off piratebay or the like.
I'll never go through piratebay. Mines invite only and so far no viruses or bad copies.
With $1 DVD and Blu Rays rentals and music sites like Groveshark and You tube...I'm not sure why anyone would risk peer to peer...
Because youporn doesn't have HD
Or 3d
usenet?
Two words....adult videoplex
Amazon sells Blu Ray 3D porn.
sometimes you have to use torrents to download video games though, especially the latest ones even when you know the risk. im also a fan of video games (GTA being my favorite supposedly) but i never understand people paying $ for a game CD tbh
I could've sworn they said the SAME exact thing sometime in June of last year.
There's deep packet inspection. If you're not using some sort of encryption, it might be a good idea to enable it now.
But yeah, your peers can sell you out.
Speaking of deep packet inspection, you should torrent "Deep Penis Insertion, Vol 8: Cybersexaholics". Great flick.
Usenet is not tracked by the Copyright Alert System. but I have noticed a lot more broken/removed files lately.
Must be nice
But I needs my Game of Thrones!!!! Can't stream that anywhere....
Copies everywhere for $10 on the streets...why risk your IP?
Doesn't make sense to download anymore...even software will be/is available via WEB2.0... or the coming WEB3.0
I forgot completely about the USENET. Someplace on it, years ago, I put complete instructions how to modify an Amiga A500 with the rev 6A motherboard to 2 megs of graphics memory. The board was already designed for it, but needed five chips removed and replaced by others, and jumper changes.
A few years ago, I ran across a forum with the question I solved.
I posted the instructions back in '92 on a BBS, but I doubt we can find that now.

Interesting. Nzbmatrix shut down in December, but I've found an alternative. Probably only a matter of time before that one is shut down. Enjoying it while it lasts.
But I think you are asking for trouble if you're part of a p2p network.
