Re: Peer Guardian
Pretty much useless IMHO. It's supposed to block IP addresses from the RIAA, MPAA, and others like that.
But just think about it for a second. Even if it managed to block all IP addresses from every RIAA building and facility in the world (which seems rather far fetched), what prevents the RIAA investigator from going home and getting on his residential high speed internet account and monitoring IP's sharing copyrighted material? That's right, absolutely nothing.
Then you must consider the unintended opposite effect. While trying to block these large blocks of "bad" IP addresses, how many good or benign IP addresses are getting blocked by mistake?
It's sort of like snake oil. It might make you feel better, but it really doesn't do much good.
