  Apparently no one has informed the Pakastan courts that there is these new inventions called "encryption" and "proxy servers". As a side note, when the hell did we let a third rate country such as this have the internets? This is just proof they're not ready yet people! Get with the program!

  Re: Does encryption help?

  Last I checked a strike is generated when a rights holder complains that "your" IP downloaded protected material from them to your ISP. Not when you just merely "connect to a peer and start downloading".

  Secondly, you can easily run your torrent client through a proxy thus not providing them with your IP but that of the proxy.

  Thirdly, I think "limiting yourself" in the article refers to NOT downloading copyrighted material therefore not being in danger of being accused of doing so. Although as we all know just not doing so doesn't stop the blackmail threats from the greedy lawyers, guilty or innocent.

  Encryption doesn't help with anything other than not allowing your ISP to throttle your p2p traffic since they don't know that's what it is.

  Re: Why overlook the obvious? This is South Carolina, you know.

  Care to share where you live so we can make fun of all the stupid people there? As we all know there is plenty of stupid to go around as is evidenced by your trolltastic post.

• On the post: AT&T No Longer Offering Unlimited Data Plan To New Customers

  

  minijedimaster ( profile ), 02 Jun, 2010 @ 11:17am

  Re: Re: Verizon soon to follow, and hopefully no others

  You should be careful about any provider's "unlimited" data plans considering all of the press in the past about those so called unlimited plans being limited in the terms of service to 5GB per month. Maybe it's different now but I know in the past this was the case from multiple providers (Verizon and T-Mobile are the two that come to mind).

  Re: Re:

  Agreed with the Helmet, you could take the complaints about this towing company and apply them to about 90% of the towing companies out there. They're all just a scam, robbing regular people on a daily basis.

  After filing the lawsuits, the plaintiffs must subpoena ISP records in an effort to match IP addresses with illicit behavior on BitTorrent.

• On the post: Did Video Professor Spend Too Much On Lawyers And Not Enough On Its Product?

  

  minijedimaster ( profile ), 03 May, 2010 @ 06:50am

  Re: video professor thieves

  Under the assumption the money was charged to you via your bank debit card, just call the bank and deny the charges. Tell them you did not authorize, sent the product back and they refuse to work with you. Your bank will reverse the charges and get your money back to you. Same goes for any credit card. Not sure if it was a direct withdrawal from your checking account if it works the same way but just call the bank and talk to them.

  Re: Legal Issues?

  What law does the plaintiff think has been violated?

  False advertising comes to mind. You can't advertise your product can do something and then change it so the product can't do that after the customer bought it.
