Things like peer guardian 2 and ip black lists help but you're never completely safe.
the chance of you getting caught is very low anyway
I cant use Peer Guardian 2 because i'm running vista, any other programs availible?Quote:

Isn't that three strikes thing in place now?
Sorry for off topic.
utorrent is safer than limewire these days and always use a decent site to get the torrents from and download from members who have a good history on there :) dont take the risk on new torrents until a few confirm its genuine :) so many fakes now its unreal and they do get your net suspended then you have to call your isp and explain the problem :o excuse is somebody managed to get access to your wirelss modem and it was nothing to do with you.
Once youve hit the 3 strikes you are black listed and can no longer buy net services in that country.
Erm there is in France, I think the UK is slowly trying to achieve that. Virgin media send out threatening letters attached with copyright stuff from the BPI (British phonographic industry AKA Music Industry), if you are persistently found you will be prosecuted, it's pretty much the three strikes system. In Ireland I don't know the status and other ISPs aren't using the three strikes system yet.Quote:

I have cut down on torrents though, I try to use proxy's in uTorrent but they often slow it down or fail to work.
I thought that the whole EU had it in place now... since a few days ago.
No way, and even if it was accepted, it'd take years to implement. A few MEPs managed to get a basic draft accepted as a EU proposal, it still has a long way to go as it's only at the starting stages, it could take years to ever happen if it does.Quote:

yup still has to be passed by the parliament - plus it only allows the practice to possibly take place, it's part of a big bill to do with telecoms.Quote:
