Don't be so cocky :P this might apply to everywhere. If The Pirate Bay got bust....then it looks like the whole world will be facing this...

Mininova ftw!

Then I better download as much songs and films as I can before that happen!
-
Mininova ftw!
Mininova is next, ALL TORRENT WEBSITES. Your ISP is watching all the sites you go onto, as per usual, but if they catch u Dling pirated and unlicensed stuff...bang...ur caught. First a warning letter, and then if it is too serious a fine of upt o £7000.

I find this pretty ridicioulus how ever you spell that word..
I mean.. Try to find a Naughty By Nature CD in Sweden for an example..

Not England, the whole of the UK including The Republic of Ireland. If the Pirate Bay got caught - that means Sweden, and probably means Most European countries including the Netherland , France and Italy. Basically all of mainland Europe. I would also believe this is inforce in America too.
10 test cases have been carried out alreay. All got fined up to £7000. Each.

You can buy cheap licensed music to download from the internet. For example, I can find the song i want for 25 - 50 pence. Really cheap

Then i move to China! :D
No srsly.. wtf? £7000? you know how much that is? where does a normal person get £7000 from?
-
Those were test cases for HEAVY users. It's basically the licenseing fee for verything they DLed. But I can probably safley say that Torrent programmers and sharers will find a way past this....they have in the past.

No, your ISP knows all your derails, any ISP you use does. They find you DLing pirated stuff ( which they will, as your ISP knows EVERYTHING you do on the internet) they'll either give u a warning or report you.

Man this whole idea of them will never be a succes...
I also don't understand the UK Internet providers.... i mean, i know allot people who brought a very very very fast internet speed just to download...

Maybe in UK, but not in the rest off europe.
Sinds when is europe doing what UK thinks is good?

How the hack?!
How they gonna check if I download something illigaly and legal? I always use bittorent to download something, and then I mean also legal things (like legal payed software or linux distributions).
Thank god its only UK and not the netherlands.
However, the future is also not news for dutch leet file shares!

Stop saying England...there is more than one country in the UK..the UK consists of 4 countries. Scotland, England , Northern Ireland and Wales. Your ISP re-routes the data needed for every webpage etc through THEIR servers...how are they NOT going to know?

Computer, Super Computers and server, how do they think they keep track of everywebpage you have visited and are able to charge you for DLs and stuf, depending if ur on a contract or not (still applies to everyone though) . All automated. If they detect someone. It will probably get added to a list and checked later.

Nope, everyone needs an ISP, and an ISP knows everything about your net. No ISP, no connection. sorry, but it loosk like this is the end of Torrents and Limewire. Ofc, ppl who want to DL will DL....but i know ways of passing this easily....but i'm not going to post them here for legal reasons.

Kinda permanent proxy for your computer type thingy.
May work...

Just because ISP's are cracking down on illegal downloaders doesn't mean that the FBI partyvan will be knocking your door the second you start downloading your favorite artist's new album. Automatically assuming that BitTorrent = illegal traffic is a flawed method: BitTorrent is a legit method of distribution for Linux distributions and much more (for example, the WoW patcher uses BT for downloading content).
Technically torrent trackers (like PirateBay) do not hold any copyrighted information: they only track the seeds and peers for torrents hosted on it. No actual data from the torrent is ever held in the tracker server. One could argue that technically they aren't doing anything illegal.
-
hahaha there we go, LimeWire users kinda piss me off cause they dont have to do any work to get free music. but me, i got my own thing on how to get music. I got this recording device that records sounds that come off the computer, then i go to a music video from YouTube or whatever and record the music. Aint illegal but there maybe copyright issues so remember to mark down everyone on the Mp3 file.......yup it may take a lil bit to get the sound you want but it works :lol:

Yeah, have fun listening to your inferior quality mono mp3's (YouTube clips = mono audio) that are recordings off YouTube videos while I listen to high-quality CD-rips of my favorite tunes. :D
-
eastern european markets are full of vendors selling bootleg tapes etc (even now the internet is common good) there is no stopping so called piracy
when I was 12 i used to tape the radio for the newest songs by my favorite bands that was also called piracy ..even though i didnt sell it for a profit ..never there was a crusade like now there is with p2p filesharing
I say where is the limit ? if you record a garage band they are happy with the attention, but as soon as the same band is big they want you to pay and call you a thief ..
is that not a bit of hipocracy ? i do agree that young starting artist need money to devellop their craft , but I also hate multi milonaires who just want to make even more money then they already earn.
If I really like a band and their music, even though I am on the internet I will go to a store and buy their product ...same goes for games ..but on manny ocasions i bought a cd or game that only saw the light of day because of commercial reasons , rushed on to the market before it was ready(or bug free, finished and tested like gta 4 is one of those unfinished products.. )I think its good there is something as filesharing because it keeps the power (and money) hungry multinationals on their toes ..they should spend half of the budget they spend on copy protection and anti piracy on TESTING and quality controll ..but thats not a priority for them ...forcing people to buy their product IS
even if its faulty and unfinished.
I own every cd Metallica brought out legally ..because its good work ..but I also own a lot of games I consider "nice to play once but not worth the replay" "illegally"
for me its not the money ..Its quality that counts. I wont be played by a multi million bussines to pay a lot for a shitty product while i make something like E1200 a month
while they make something like 120 million a month or more
one tip I can give ..use PearGuardian not totally safe but atleast it does keep the most known money wolves at bay

Yeah, have fun listening to your inferior quality mono mp3's (YouTube clips = mono audio) that are recordings off YouTube videos while I listen to high-quality CD-rips of my favorite tunes. :D
actually you can shush cause its free and has an Mp3 audio inhancer so the sound sounds great. lol have fun listening to your ripped off music which will be impossible to get, or FBI might be on your ass. :D
some people.....think they know about stuff but really dont :roll:

Nope, your ISP provides your IP. an IP cloaker will only cloak your IP if others are viewing it, for emaple entering a game server, it will show your cloaked IP, not your real one.
And to the rest, Learn To Read The Whole Topic Before Posting. I have repeatedly said they have one 10 test cases. If 10 straight cases have beenwon for 7k each. This is happening and it s real. There is no way to stop this now. Don't say it is shit and all that, cos if you were a licensing company, this is how you would lose alot of money, and you would be pissed off if you lost around 1.2 million....

I agree with the last statment....people think they know alot about ISPS etc, but since I posted this topic, most of them seem to know nothing.

Please. Your mp3's will still be inferior quality: how are you planning on converting your great "hi-fi" mono sounds to stereo? You can't.
You think I don't know about "my stuff"? Please, you just made yourself sound like an idiot. As I said before, Dave here is overexaggerating this.
And by the way, I don't live in the UK.

How does your ISP know what you're downloading? They can't analyze every single packet you send or receive and then know if you're downloading legit freeware software or Crysis. It's time and power-consuming. You have no idea what you're talking about: imagine an ISP analyzing every single piece of data you send and receive: not only is that already a waste of time and resources, imagine them doing it to every single customer. The BitTorrent protocol can be encrypted to bypass ISP blocks (which are ridiculous) and make "catching you" harder. I'm not saying that you can't be caught. But you're clearly making this sound a lot worse than it is.
Yes. You're going to get caught more easier now. But if you fire up your favorite Gnutella client to download one song, you're not going to receive a letter. This isn't "the end of BitTorrent or LimeWire". It's merely a tightening in anti-piracy operations.
-
Uhm....I have no idea what i'm talking about? Until now I was the only guy in this topic who knew anything about what is going on....
Ok i'll put this a way everyone will understand. Your ISP will use something very similar to Ingame Logs i.e recording everything you done, websites you visited etc etc. If they find you have visited a torrent website and downloaded something illegal, i.e a crack, they will take notice of it.
There is also another way. It is something simmialr to Virgin Media's Traffic Managment Policy (http://allyours.virginmedia.com/html/internet/traffic.html) , This states that they will cap your connection if you are downloading vast amounts of stuff and consuming vast amounts of bandwidth. I know this is not a way of detecting piracy atm, i'm not stupid or anything. I'm saying they will use something similar to this. If they detect you Downloading and consuming vast amounts of bandwidth, they will investigate. If you were an ISP, wouldn't you be curious about where all your other customers bandwidth goes?

I have to credit you for knowing how the internet in general works. I guess I made a few false accusations.

Yes, but monitoring every single user's internet activity is a waste of processing power and time. Visiting a torrent site is barely any evidence, either. Obviously these kind of logs will become very useful when investigating a person who's downloading hundreds of gigs of "Linux distributions" every month.

This is a good example of a bad ISP. This is obviously a valid way of knowing who's most likely downloading illegal content: but there's always a counterargument to this. BitTorrent, as I stated above, is an excellent and fast protocol for distributing free software and other legal content.

I don't care I buy what I use anyway :P

Looks like there is two of use that know what we are talking about in this topic ;)

Atleast free music in Estonia.

man you are full of youyrself could you maybe tune it down a notch? nobody likes a smartass :roll:
-
You're one of them, aren't you Dave?
-
hey doug how about you shush and actually try it and see what the sound actually sounds like. :roll: or you can be "OMG my parents can pay for my music which sounds so AWESOME, IM the MAN JAJAJA, and your music sucks ASS, cause its inferior" :lol:

What the hell is your problem? Anybody with even minimal technological knowledge knows that a proper rip from a commercial CD will beat the quality of anything recorded from YouTube. Stop being a smartass.
(And by the way, I haven't bought one CD of music in my lifetime. Yes, call me a pirate if you must :P)
-
I've bought a few cds but i downloaded over....7000 songs? haha and about 200 movies, 100's of programs.
overall I've downloaded well over 5grand worth of stuff...(gbp)
-
please doug, you dont know what your talking about so end it please......
-
man you are full of youyrself could you maybe tune it down a notch? nobody likes a smartass :roll:
No, just that people who think they know 1337 amounts of stuff about PCs know jack shit about internet and ISPs....
Doug actually does know what he is talking about...believe it or not...and what do u mean Tider...?
-
Whoever thinks a 3 Mb MP3 will beat the quality of a track from a CD is wrong.
Sure, the difference may be un-noticeable on PC speakers, but if you put a few mp3 tracks through a HiFi and compare to a CD you have bought, the difference is very noticeable.
-

Which side are you on, Pirates or the antichrists?
-
Lol? what kind of question is that. Obviously Pirates. But I am here to provide information, to make sure no-one is caught out.
-
please doug, you dont know what your talking about so end it please......
Actually, he is the one who knows - you have no argument as far as I can see.
-
let me explain. at first the sound quality did sound like shit. BUT there is a way to fix it. too god damn complicated to get into detail but a quick run through. I changed the sound output (because i got this weird sound output changer) to a higher/better sound quality that sounded then what it did by its self. even though its mono it got "enhanced" (or changed). illl give yoiu a part of a clip of one if you want to hear....and it sounds pretty good on my iPod as well......unless you guys want to get in real deep then yes sure CD sound is better. but come on im not going to spend 200$ on CD's when i can just get a little less noticeable sound from this way. who would (beside people who like to burn a hole in their pocket) :neutral:
-
Matthew, recorded music is never as good as getting the song directly. Sure, you can enhance the sound and improve the quality, but it will not be as good. ;)
unless you guys want to get in real deep then yes sure CD sound is better
Deep or not (and actually, it is not that deep), it still has a significant impact on the sound quality.

And I like buying CDs, I like having the proper CD artwork and booklet and all that stuff.

Back on topic please? :redface:

Back on topic please? :redface:
sure, song pirates wont have anyplace to turn once this action takes place.
but i will admit that 1/4 of the songs on my iPod are from CD's. and yes they do sound different from the other ones, but it dont matter to me as long as i get me music....

This isn't the first time this has happened. What makes this new 'crackdown' any different?
-
This isn't a crackdown....:/ They have already done cases already. And they have taken The Pirate Bay down...They didn't do that last time.
-

This isn't a crackdown? Type 'crackdown illegal downloads' into Google, you'll get lots of articles about this. If I'm not mistaken, they've also done cases against people in many of the past times ISPs have taken action against illiegal downloading, but that made next to no difference to the big picture. They've taken down websites in the past too, Napster and Allofmp3 were both targeted but relaunched soon after. The Pirate Bay is up too.
-
Whatever, i'm not going to argue. Yes this has been down in the past i know. And it has a very low succes rate. This has been in action for around a week or two, lets just watch it and see what comes of it.
-
when I was 12 i used to tape the radio for the newest songs by my favorite bands that was also called piracy
LMAO Iggy you are soooo old school man :rofl: :rofl:, respect mate, you know what they say, Theres no school like the old school.

Fuck you Orange! i'm getting Hearts FC broadband. LOL?
-

Pirate bay was down for two days total now they are back up again
they open with a start page telling people they will never remove torrents
a quote from one of the letters the pirate bay sent back to Dreamworks :
Please be assured that any further contact with us, regardless of medium,
will result in
a) a suit being filed for harassment
b) a formal complaint lodged with the bar of your legal counsel, for
sending frivolous legal threats
It is the opinion of us and our lawyers that you are ....... morons, and
that you should please go sodomize yourself with retractable batons.
:rofl:
-
LOL...haha...law suit :P
-
I LOVE my provider :D
TPG FOR THE WIN!!!!
aight :P..
I have downloaded over 6000Gb of movies, games shows, porn, music.. softwares.. :D.. all i got from them was the bill for the next month...
-

-
ROFL pwned :lol:

f**k you Orange! i'm getting Hearts FC broadband. LOL?
Hearts FC?? o.o
Rangers ftw :D
You guys should really read some of the letters thepiratebay sends and recieves , they have like 4 from EA :lol:
-
I LMAO on some responces ..and on the EA thing wel EA is almost monopolizing the games market ..one out of two games is brought out by EA..Then you can expect them to be copied a lot also hence the number of letters
