Yep, if you're in the US you should not be using something like BT. Canada doesn't care though

Yeah, but try getting a stable download when beavers keep chewing through your cable line.

why are the feds claiming they've shutdown the source of the leak with ET going down ? They are the ones who stole the movie in the first place ?

You are the one who's stupid/naive

ET was a private members-only site.

The past few months, the only way to get on ET was via invite from someone already on it.
I think once they opened up registration for a day or two, but generally the site was invite only.

MUAHAHAH thats about the worst frakign idea Ive ever heard. Did they feel they were being more "secure" then? MUAHAHAHA

Edit: (cut down on nesting) Oh and somebody explain to me how newzbin.com is any different that a tracker site? It offers pretty much the EXACT same access.

Open for invites != private.

I'm talking about IP based trackers.

Canada is in the process of enacting an even worse law, if it's any consolation.

The U.S. Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act - Implementation:

Section 103 of CALEA sets forth the assistance capability requirements that telecommunications carriers need to maintain to support law enforcement in the conduct of lawfully-authorized electronic surveillance. Specifically, CALEA directs the telecommunications industry to design, develop, and deploy solutions that meet certain assistance capability requirements.

Pursuant to a court order or other lawful authorization, carriers must be able to: (1) expeditiously isolate all wire and electronic communications of a target transmitted by the carrier within its service area; (2) expeditiously isolate call-identifying information of a target; (3) provide intercepted communications and call-identifying information to law enforcement; and (4) carry out intercepts unobtrusively, so targets are not made aware of the electronic surveillance, and in a manner that does not compromise the privacy and security of other communications.

Edit: Whoa, I just realized you guys are talking about home routers! Of course those won't be affected by this law, that's just moronic. This is big backend routers only. How stupid do you have to be to think home routers will get backdoors built in? Some 15 year old hacker would crack the access in 10 minutes and run buckwild.

Which is where I was going with his moronic statement.. "every router."
This type of posting seems pretty typical from him.

Utterly hysterical.

It's because he's a colossal ******.

they just dont know is what is is, i download more then most people useing BT, however none of it is illegel (yet), i average around 8 gigs a day, and they are all from public trackers because i dont know of a single privite one that has anything i want to DL

downloading fansubs of anime is illegal, it's just that most of the japanese companies turn a blind eye to it because it usually helps them build a fanbase/fanfollowing here. and no one really enforces it unless the series is licensed for a north american release.

The ET trackers were not based on IP's. They used passkey's for authentication.
