We can try to fight this - you know grass roots, letters, blablabla to our deaf politicians
OR
We can side step it. Why dont we make a little tweak..Put dns data up on the torrents. Yeah, yu could automate it with a patched bittorent client that takes the url from the browser, gets it on the torrents, and puts it into the the hosts file. Anyway, people revisit many of the same sites - bogs, news sites, their git, etc - so a functioning and updated hosts file avoids public dns servers. After a while, the torrenting activity would be minimal since your hosts file would have your favorite haunts. browsing is faster and safer (resistance to MITM attacks). Do I fundamentally misunderstand DNS or would this work?
Should this be in highly technical or the operating systems forum-dont really know?
