I heard Verizon was one of the ISPs cooperating with MPAA/RIAA if asked.

what about it doesn't work ?

I wouldn't mind hearing the answer to this.

ummm... because it relies on IPs to protect your privacy? Is it really that much of a stretch to think that the MPAA and RIAA might use "honeypots" that are outside their usual IP ranges to track other IPs?

ok, that was the expected answer. And if it (or any other method) was foolproof, then everybody would be pirating (and nobody would be scared sh!tless). This is called a deterrent. It blocks a ton of ranges and all it doesn't seem to block are IPs allocated to home cable/dsl modem users' ISPs (usual peers)... so if the honeypots are amongst them, then good luck to all piraters.

suppose you have a point. I just think that the Riaa/Mpaa are smarter than this, they know the software is out there, and they have a a sh!t load of money behind them to get around if it they want. It only takes the use of 1 un-blocked IP for them to be successful.

Canada = My Peer Guardian

This is true. But as they find more and more of these "honeypots" they post these as well. PG isn't the best and most reliable, but when used in combination with another app, which has updated black lists almost daily, it is.

Is it so much of a stretch to think that there are people dedicated to finding outside IP ranges for these companies?? Granted, there will still be IP ranges that aren't blocked, and should be, but those can be found within days, limiting the amount of time your vulnerable to those ranges.

How exactly would you tell a honeypot apart from any other peer-to-peer user? All the honeypot has to do is keep a log of the users that download from it's end (unbeknown to you) and you're screwed.

I think you're deluding yourself if you think PG provides you any kind of protection.
