It all about money and not about laws anymore no matter how you look at it.

anon squirrel @vaxination.ca	reply to thecapn What the RIAA's henchmen do is not illegal per say. They don't "spy" on you. They simply participate in torrents and log the IPs that also participate in a torrent they have chosen to monitor. No amount of encryption will prevent that because in the end, you need to exchange packets with peers in a torrent. It just so happens that one or more peers are henchmen working for RIAA mafia and they appear to be just any other peer. How they pick their victims, I do not know. Random ? Or if an ip shows up too often ? Where there may be a legal grey area is if the henchmen, in their participation in a torrent, feed peers with the content. They are basically giving you the very conett they say should not be exchanged and then turn around and charge you with stealing it.
