s-mac Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 Anyway to hide what he's downloading, and, is it legal for your ISP to see what you're doing online?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 No really easy way to hide. Perhaps some VPN or proxy, but the good ones are probably going to cost you.It's not the ISP that's doing the monitoring. It's the anti-P2P outfits that are monitoring and informing the ISP, whereby the ISP only forwards the message to you (otherwise, they possibly face legal issues).

Ultima Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 *shrug* You'd have to take that up with them. I don't really know how they pick and choose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s-mac Posted January 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 SMH @ the anti-p2ps relying on the ISPs to message them. I just had this talk today with a friend wanting for someone else to call someone for them. Anyways, that sucks. How do the Anti-P2P groups get a hold of your internet?

Ultima Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 AFAIK, they connect to the same torrents and check who else is in the swarm. Those users they can target and/or feel like targeting, they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mosdapwn Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 I really still question the legality of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Legal?I'll be able to tell you for sure after this is stopped/not stopped:http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/12/16/virgin_bittorrent/page2.html"Virgin Media to dump neutrality and target BitTorrent users"(From the article:)application-based restrictions would form part of a broader strategy to "monetise the intelligence" in the Virgin Media network. The firm did not, as reported by The Guardian today*, promise "to press ahead with its targeted online advertising technology"....the firm intends to lead the ISP industry in new network services that exploit customer data.(end quote) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
