I'm more concerned with what the triggers will be. Are they actually tracking the content of URL's (only)? Are they looking for any traffic on the same port as BitTorrent? Are they simply looking for a significant amount of traffic outbound from your home connection??? (good-bye, working from home???)
For a $35 dollar appeal fee, it might indeed be time to look at other providers if this happened very often.

Basically DtecNet/MarkMonitor is participating in a lot of BitTorrent swarms and recording IP addresses of peers.
- dkl 14y agoThe $64,000 question: how many private trackers have been infiltrated by these watchers? I turned off the cable 2+ yrs ago and have been torrenting tv shows since then (no movies or music). When I get my first notice, I'll be getting a seed box ($15/mo for a decent one). EDIT: I would happily stop torrenting and pay $20-30 for the few shows I watch. If, say, all of them were on a Hulu-like service, I'd definitely go that route.
- calinet6 14y agoThere are certain services that accomplish what you want at a much much better quality level, cost $10-12 per month and offer full SSL connections, but I'm not allowed to tell you about them.
- dhimes 14y agoWhy can't you tell us about them?
- dkl 14y agoThen they aren't a legal alternative.
- calinet6 14y agoNeither is a "seed box" or private trackers, or anything else that the parent post mentioned. No one in this thread is talking about legal alternatives, because they don't exist. The illegal alternatives are a an insanely better experience, and people are paying for them to boot. There is a huge opportunity for someone to come in and create the Spotify of video, but it probably won't happen soon because it will be near impossible to work with content providers to create it. Plus there's not a huge incentive, since even Spotify is being sucked dry with licensing fees. Let's face it: the current state of the industry is not capable of providing a high quality user experience to the consumer (I'm almost 100% convinced). They're all about forcing the consumer to use whatever creates the most money, and if you amass enough power, sure, you can do that. Effectively, they are exercising their legal rights to hold back the quality of the end-user experience. Is it right? It is a moral grey area. They have the right to protect their content and the creators of that content, to ensure they are compensated fairly. But at the same time, it is holding back progress. In short: if you want the best personal digital entertainment experience, a legal alternative at any cost is not available. There are simply too many providers and too many limitations and services. Furthermore, the quality of illegal methods (which will not be named; the secret ones are indeed the best) are extremely high as to be almost the best possible outcome. It is a very complicated situation. "Legal alternative" is synonymous with "worse" right now, but I do hope that improves.
- jpdoctor 14y ago> and recording IP addresses of peers. Terrific! Anyone know the IP addresses of the state and federal Supreme Courts? It will be good preparation for justices to understand IP spoofing.
- jessedhillon 14y agoActually, I also would like to know how you could accomplish this. Assuming "this" is "use your connection in a P2P network to make a peer report that it is connected to A.B.C.D, when in fact you are at W.X.Y.X"
- chacham15 14y agoThis is easily done with a man in the middle attack. You can change your src ip headers and then listen for the response when it gets sent to the spoofed ip.
- wmf 14y agoIf only geeks would understand IP spoofing. You can't spoof an entire BitTorrent connection.
