Because they don't know it exists right?

will vpn's block this?

Right before our eyes, and without a vote, laws are passed to censor the internet. Just look at the corporations (content providers) that have signed onto this. American democracy, F*ck yeah!

Actually you can file a complaint under this system if they try to block you by telling them that linux distros are distributed by torrent several legal torrents also occur on a daily basis what i find is funny is that this law violates another law in the millennium copyright act.

see the u.s adopted the bernolli convention from france this copyright enforcement system says that if a company no longer supports produces or creates the hardware software or operating system that a piece of software uses you have the legal right to download that piece of software as long as it meets these requirements so this enforcement system is garbage because under the copyright act you can argue that your violating the millennium copyright act because the bernolli convention is a part of that act this is why you can legally download xbox games and atari games and sega dreamcast games and even ms-dos games because of this act that happens to be a part of the copyright so it sucks because now your saying no you cannot do this which violates the convention which is apart of another act which is a law talk about double jeopardy more like triple jeopardy and you say you are going after torrent users great go ahead but there are creative common torrents that are freeware and shareware for the free software community that are not illegal if you even once give me a warning i will come after you because your violating the creative commons license as well which is a crime

Big deal, just get a cheap VPN account, for $5/month. Been using TPB at large, still haven't heard a word yet from my ISP.

A pretty good solution:

By the look of their system to get around it one only needs to hide thier Ip and or clone the Mac address of another to start issues on the hoste system so can we all say it show time.......

The "6 strikes" copyright alert system campaign will not go well:
https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2013/02/c...-agent-your-isp

I thought it was determined that the act of downloading the files questioned as legal or not is not illegal and they have no real way to prove the download completed or the file was legit.

With all this money they spend on trying to stop pirates they should invest in making their products better and cheaper for consumers to get. Every step they take to fight this just makes for better pirates. It is a wasted effort in my opinion.

DISCLAIMER: The above comments in no way condone piracy

Torrent users should be fine. Just don't download a copyrighted torrent file that is being shared or looked for by the owner. Companies will share a movie or song and record the different IPs that download part/all of the file. They break the law by sharing the files so they can catch people. You are not breaking the law just by using torrent services. It's all about the content of your download. ISP do not have a legal right to snoop on your traffic (not saying they don't) so all reports of copyright violation come from outside the ISP and are not generated by the ISP themselves. VPN and IP anonymizers work great for hiding your IP. Your IP is what leads investigators to your ISP. Who in turn directs them to you. The SOPA Bill had laws in it that would make software that hides IPs illegal. All this fuss over people watching movies and listening to songs they would never pay for in the first place is crazy. The fine for having a bootleg dvd or cd is crazy. You pay less fines for drunk driving than what having one bootleg dvd or cd will cost you. I am not condoning illegally obtaining copy righted material. I just think that what is happening to laws to support an industry that grossly overcharges people for its product is criminal and they should be making more useful laws that protect us and not big money as usual. I'll feel sorry for them when they actually pay their taxes.
