Ok... All you foolz usin the Torrents and SLSKs.. How "safe" are these to use, in terms of not getting caught? I know that torrent is it's own protcol, but to me, that doesn't mean you can't get flagged by the piece of shit RIAA. I stopped using P2P after 2001 due to all the "heat" put on sharing. What about Freenet? Anyone tried that... I would get a Torrent client or SLSK, but using Peer Guardian or some other highly memory intensive program to block IP's seems a little much. But that's what it's come to, right? Not to mention all the dummy files and security risks. |

Quit being paranoid. How many people have been sued? One or two thousand at the most? I'm pretty sure you're more likely to be struck by lightening. Stop being paranoid. As far as soulseek and bittorrent, I don't think they've been targeted by the RIAA. |

Map, it's easy to trace bittorents. A lot of times, the RIAA will put up MP3s, get the IP of the user(s) downloading, and contact their ISP and send out a notice. This happens all the time. Now, if you want SECURE encrypted P2P networks, I suggest you use WASTE. It's pretty badass :) |

A lot of times, the RIAA will put up MP3s, get the IP of the user(s) downloading, and contact their ISP and send out a notice. State your sources. And a more quantitative assertion than "A lot of times," is needed to convince me. |

If you believe the anecodotes posted on various p2p bulletin boards, US bittorrent users have been targets of the MPAA (but not the RIAA as far as I've seen). The RIAA and MPAA don't have to do the dirty work - it gets contracted out to companies like and . |

Map, I believe there was something on /. about it a while back. And many people on various forums (hardware sites, gen may, hardocp, etc). have shown citations from their ISP provider that they were caught downloading movies (they listed the movies they downloaded, too) and told them to cease. etc.. (just read invert whales post) Yeah, sorry. I meant to say MPAA instead of RIAA earlier. |

And Map, I don't _need_ to convince you of anything. I could care less if you heed the warning. |

ha ha? I don't believe I stated I stopped due to the RIAA, in exact quotes. I stopped because I could, and I wanted to. There's being paranoid, then there's being smart. The only good thing that I see about P2P is that it gives you access to extremely rare "items" that you would not and could not otherwise just go to gemm.com and find (Like a Hendrix a Zep tune even a dedicated fan such as myself never knew about, which are completely kick fucking ass, BTW). Anyways, ask a question, and get a battle on this forum. *ding ding* |

I tried freenet, it is not lightweight, mature or easy enough for public consumption. I would like to recommend getting some nodes set up and then sharing the keys freely on the board here. That we we can all have our gits, and it remains encrypted and "safe". |
