Starting Nov. 28 - Better Not Get Caught Infringing Copyrights

AT&T Could Block Facebook, The Pirate Bay And Others When 'Six Strike' Program Begins Next Month

New information leaked from AT&T reveals that the major Internet service provider will start warning customers who are being monitored for illegally downloading copyrighted files beginning on Nov. 28, which is now seen as the unofficial start date for the telecoms' six-strike policy to combat online piracy.

The documents, obtained by Torrent Freak, also detail AT&T’s intention to block a customer’s access to his or her most visited websites until they sign an acknowledgement that they’ve been notified that copyrighted material has been illegally downloaded to their computer.

The six-strike effort has been heavily lobbied for by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) and the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) ever since the SOPA/PIPA bills failed to pass Congress last year.

Time Warner Cable, Verizon, Comcast and Cablevision will join AT&T in the six-strike effort, which will attempt to stop Internet users from illegally downloading music and movies -- not by threatening lawsuits but through educational materials.

A little "re-education" for the citizens...

Why would you?

Last month it became apparent that not all VPN providers live up to their marketing after an alleged member of Lulzsec was tracked down after using a supposedly anonymous service from HideMyAss. We wanted to know which VPN providers take privacy extremely seriously so we asked many of the leading providers two very straightforward questions. Their responses will be of interest to anyone concerned with anonymity issues.

That shows how amateurish Lulzsec were. A paid VPN? Really?

Whatever happened to rooting servers across 4 or 5 countries that don't have law enforcement co-operation, sshing between the boxes and then deleting the logs for good measure, like the good ol' days?

Ummm really? Australia's Internet blows: Internet censorship in Australia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Countries like Canada, UK, and Sweden have true Internet freedom.

I was being facetious.... that was a Aff link.

https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser.html when your serious about privacy. If you can buy china white and order a hit from behind it, I think you'd be fine downloading movies and shit as well. If not, I am looking at 15-20 for some of the deliveries I have accepted.

In a fictional story about a hacker I'm writing I tunnel through a series of "open" cisco routers. From what I've been told it's pretty effective and easier than rooting a bunch of servers.
