Not as computer saavy as some so I suppose I'll ask. Won't the standard ISP blocker/hider still work? I have had Trident lurking around my computer for a few years now. Peerblock works wonders.

Since your ISP is the one providing your public IP address and doing your routing to the internet, they can identify your destination addresses (websites) regardless of whatever port blocking software you have on your machine.

Huge KC Chiefs fan here btw

Check your routers for IPs with traceroute, to see if you have these clowns tracking you .

Corporate Cops.

This is what happens when you privatize your Police Force.

Yeah, unless they want to lose money.

Protip: This is why people stop buying your shitty music. I haven't bought a CD in 8 years, or even downloaded music. It's all shit!

What exactly is privatized about companies doing the government's bidding?

Doing the government's bidding? Quite the opposite that they're self-regulating....

The issue with things like SOPA is that it doesn't require due process and provides a precedent for them to shut down other "threats"... If you don't want that, then the first necessary step is to not give them the ammo of using "piracy" to do so... I mean, I'm not really sure how people can be for piracy and be in favor of a free market... How would you like it if you spent thousands to millions just for people to rip off your work for free?

So if they want to eliminate piracy, that's well within the media companies' interests to do so, and actually gives us more ammo to tell the government to f' off with regard to controlling the internet.

Now the media company's handing over data to the government would be where they're doing their bidding... Measures liek this actually help forego them haveing to do the government's bidding to prevent it.

Wow, soon we will have to live in CLEAR houses with no front door to make sure we are not letting our family members listen to our CD's...

Gotta install sound proof stuff in all rooms so nobody can hear or watch a movie they did not buy!

 

[jbauer]

Can't you just sign up for an VPN connection through hidemyass.com or other? Each time they do this some kid in their moms basment comes up with a solution. This time will be no different.

Surely you can realize the difference between the government doing something like that, and companies protecting their products from being given away for free... I'd suspect that if you were in the entertainment business, that you would not be happy to have to go out of business because some people decided that they could just pass around and even sell themselves products you spent thousands if not millions to produce.

A free market also implies protection from having your property stolen and exploited for someone else's gain.

Further, we should all be happy when companies self-regulate themselves rather than give the government more unnecessary power for them to use as precedents to seize more power.

Sure I can realize the difference. I dont share movies, I dont buy movies or go and see the movies. I do work in IT, I know what they are doing to get this data and how they are getting this data.

btguard.com
it works. offers full vpn service.

Ok, so if you live in a house with 5 roommates who all share the same internet connection, and your name is on the account, you now have to "police" all of your roommate's internet usage otherwise your service gets hit with the warning in your name.

Now, I recall ISPs sending out these warnings as early as 2004. That is 8 fucking years ago.

How close do all the warnings have to be together?

Backscatter Z now installed in trucks(used around Washington DC metro testing) and then on helicopters/planes above... only a matter of time when it's on the 30,000 drones flying over the US.
