The argument is that they don't care, it is the fault of the account owner if they are not able to prevent "illegal" usage. Account owner should be able to install "something" (they were always vague) that would help him prevent people doing illegal stuff.
By something we always thought it would be allowing ISPs to do DPI or something (and you would off course have to pay for it, because it's a service they offer).
- jiggy2011 14y agoI'm not sure if DPI would help much if the torrent connections are all encrypted. Perhaps you could do something by profiling connections, for example if a particular computer has a large amount of connections open to a large number of IP addresses. But then again in theory you don't have to download very much to trip over this, downloading 6 separate 4MB MP3 files could do it if you are very unlucky. The only thing I can think of would be to run everything through an HTTP proxy and then explicitly whitelist IP addresses of individual websites as and when you need them. Of course this would break stuff like XboX games and any legitimate use of P2P networking.
- tonfa 14y agoI didn't imply it made sense. That said I'm pretty sure you could have some decent results with ML based analysis of network traffic.
