Verizon, Time Warner will throttle speeds, restrict usage of repeat copyright infringers

So basically what this will do is educate the CEOs that piracy will still happen regardless of these restrictions and hopefully one day the US will stop wasting tax payer's $ over nickle and dimes.

If your a customer of one of these ISP providers, will using VPN have any effect on their nonsense?

No really as all data goes via their headend, that's why people still get picked up even if they use IP hiders and stuff.

There's nothing you can do that will hide your IP or make it untraceable bar using someone elses connection.

If you did try hiding your IP correctly you'd never get any packets of any kind thus making you disconnected from the net overall.

It's part and parcel of using the net you have to be seen to be on the net and to be unseen means your not on the net.

you know , it seems to me that this whole thing is getting out of hand , why buy a product from a company that does this , let the RIAA , the CCI and the MPAA pay their bills , people have turned into such sheep

Like everything we will find a way around this and the game of cat and mouse shall never end....

Torrentfreak shows a video on this. The ISP's themselves are not looking for you. The RIAA and MPAA have hired a third party to find people downloading specific titles and alert the ISP who blindly believes it and sends out a notice.

Using a VPN WILL protect you if they do not keep logs. There is no way to trace a person to the torrent site otherwise.

IP spoofing may not hide you, but a good VPN will...sure, the ISP will know you are connecting to a VPN if they are paying attention...they can even tell you are downloading or uploading a lot...but they won't know what it is; no way to prove that piracy is happening.

Of course, this law is written in a way that violates constitutional rights anyway, so maybe just suspicion is enough.

Why buy a product from companies that support the RIAA/MPAA/ETC? Well, there are arguments on both sides of that...but as for buying the internet connection, there isn't much choice for most people. Where I live there is just Verizon Fios and Time Warner Cable...the only other internet option is Dish, and that sucks.

If everyone would boycott the music and movies then they would be forced to do something. I understand that amazon and netflix has provided an avenue but that is poor at best.

When will they realize that it is about wanting to share what ever we want to share without penalty.

So you're saying that you want theft to be legalized?
