VPN is 90s mate. Can't they figure out when u connect to VPN. i know ISPs does in countries like middle east where people use VPN to make Voip calls and they start filtering packets the moment u connect to VPN. So thats ruled out

I'm thinking more Western Europe and the US, where VPNs are common place and not frowned upon (people use them for work etc.).

Once your data is going across a VPN ISPs cannot check the nature of the data, just the amount of traffic.

VPNs are certainly not 90s, they are alive and well and used all the time (ask most of the people here into international media buys).

But I am not 100% sure about BTGuard (the proxy version not the VPN version) as I would imagine that they would see the proxy address and start to filter it out. But not sure.
 


In the big Thai tech malls like Pantip plaza and Fortune City (My new favorite) they have a new way of selling movies...

Via 2 Terrabyte HDs full at a time!

Of course this is illegal and not out on the shelf but if you know someone there or are a repeat customer they'll tell you about this option... I didn't get to see the prices this time but I saw a HD in a sleeve there with a listing printed on the sleeve. It had something like 500 movies on it, all new releases in MP4 format. Pretty much the store's current Stock of movies recorded to MP4 and saved on a HD.

I'd guess this isn't cheap ($350?) but If you bought one every 6 months you'd pretty much be able to effortlessly keep up with all of the good movies released in an ongoing basis.

Good luck stopping that kind of piracy, MPAA!
