Re: Ah Yes....

Yes, this logic is based on the wrong assumption that law enforcement are the only ones we need to conceal anything from.

Re: Ah Yes....

Agreed, there is nothing wrong with encrypting your traffic. If you have nothing to hide, why do you wear clothes? Sure, I have an idea what's behind your clothes, but it's none of my damn business.

Encrypting traffic is like sending a letter instead of a postcard. I don't know about you, but I would never send a bank deposit on a postcard, I would put it in an envelope. All YOU know, is that I'm sending something, not WHAT I am sending? Why? Because it's none of your f'ing business WHAT I am sending. If I want to subscribe to 'barely 18', then I get it in a brown wrapper. No-one knows what's in the brown wrapper except ME and the person who sent it to me. Why should internet traffic be anything different? When companies use something like sandvine, they are effectively telling the post office to stamp 'return to sender', when I am expecting something in the mail. If the USPS started doing that crap, there would be holy hell to pay. Why is it any different when an ISP does the same thing? It's NOT.

Bottom line, it's no-ones business WHAT I am using the internet for.

That's my motto. If you don't want to get strip searched, go naked.

I don't want to rain on anyone's parade here, but the whole point in using encryption is to hide what is being transmitted: Legal or Not.

Obviously when they start taking measures to limit P2P and encryptions is increased as a result it is a pretty good bet that it is the P2P people that have begun encrypting to "hide" their data and get around the limits.

Re: Ah Yes....

No organizations are sniffing packets to catch file sharers. Encryption is to get around traffic shaping, nothing else. Your IP is just as visible as always.
