Gurnee, IL | Stupid. I don't really see the point in paying for a torrent site. This is basically what one is doing signing up for this service. For about the same amount of money you could signup for services like Rapidshare which have an equal amount of content usually, and are much faster anyways. Not to mention you won't have to worry about your traffic as you aren't uploading a thing.

Sorry to say, but I don't believe this is private. Just like people who pay for "private" torrent sites. All it takes is for one person who works for the RIAA to get on that site and they have all your info. Same goes for here. I fail to see how a VPN makes your activity private if someone from the RIAA gets onto the VPN with you. | |

Not to mention as soon as they found out they were compromised TPB would blow the whistle. The difference between TBP and the RIFNAs is that TBP has a successful business model. Don't sue your customers and pay fair market value for content. | |

Don't sue your customers and pay fair market value for content. It wouldn't take THAT much work. Its not as easy as a public torrent site, but all you need is access to the VPN to make it happen. How long do you think it will take for the RIAA/MPAA to get access to a VPN system that is open to everyone and costs $7 a month? | |

Yeah but having access to the VPN to torrent does not put your information at risk unless the have access to the merchant processor. If they hacked that the RIAA would be in deep s#$t! Two different systems! Even if they did what could they do, again no logs are kept of anyones activity. So Good Guys 1 RIAA SOL  | |

I think you are right though, the IP address would be a VPN address and I don't think there is an easy way to cross reference them unless someone had access to the IP tables themselves.
You are right, its a step in the right direction to protect piracy. | |

I will agree with you content should be paid for although I will never cry over copyright infringement until prices go down, drm goes away, and talent gets better. I will say though I do use a Napster subscription just because it is easier then other methods. So ya still playing hockey dude | |

2 edits | And read what I said again. For the same amount of money one could subscribe to rapidshare and not have to worry about paying for this VPN service for torrents. The guberment and AA's are tracking torrents - Not http services like rapidshare and megashares which many times have files named like "My first pony ride 1.avi" when the actual file is really the latest episode of lost. Not to mention files on rapidshare are usually uploaded in segmented rar's and are encrypted. Basically what i'm trying to say is, no one can track what your downloading via rapidshare, and they can't nab you for uploading like in the case of a torrent.
Granted, I can't see services like Rapidshare lasting much longer, as they really don't have much legitimate usage. However, now is now - And there is no reason to be paying money for torrent service when a far superior option for the same amount of money is available. | |
