Re: Encrypted Links Anyone?

said by TKJunkMail See Profile :

You can encrypt your link all you want, but you can't hide WHERE the data is coming from. And if ISPs start deciding which IP addresses are providing pirated data, they can block them - provided the Berman law backs their move.
What about VPNs? If one were to create a VPN to some other network, all the ISP should ever see is packets going to the VPN server and doesn't have a clue what is in them... or am I mistaken? Obviously, the ISPs could block the IPs of VPN providers...

So...how does the MPAA propose the ISPs should break encrypted links? Encrypted P2P might be vulnerable, but there are other 'sources' that are probably being used that aren't P2P. I know that one major 'discussion group' provider has SSL. And they aren't the only one.
