<title>[Newsgroups] Giganews and it&#x27;s DMCA Affirmation</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,26856986</link>
<description><![CDATA[I have received several Giganews DMCA infringement notices and as a result I have had my account put on hold. The annoying this is that I only download and the notices was for stuff that was uploaded/posted. In the notices it mentions the specific infraction or messages that were posted. They were of TV shows that were up loaded. Now I took a close look at those, they all seem to have been uploaded on the same date and by a specific IP. The ip shown was one that is in Germany. 

Here's an example:

" ----- Messages Posted by Your Account (Reference: 3566427)
  Subject: Boardwalk.Empire.S02E09.PL.HDTV.XviD-FLAME.rar (01/58)
  Message-ID:  on Tue, 17 Jan 2012 17:32:54 -0600
  Username  : *!my old giganews username!*
  IP Address: 85.214.95.177
  Timestamp : Tue, 17 Jan 2012 17:32:54 -0600

Other related Message-IDs:"

Now I live in Canada, so that worried me right away. I changed my username and password after realizing that. Did a full malware and antivirus scan of my computer to make sure it was clean.

After the first few notices I got some more but I'm noticing that they are from the same day and same IP. I don't know why they are being sent as separate infringements or seperate notices. 

Also now if I want to re-enable my download and posting privileges I have to sign some DMCA Affirmation. I'm very wary about that. I'm not sure what it is I'm singing exactly? In case my account gets hacked am I opening myself up to fines and what not or are they just gone cancel or suspend my account? By signing that, as a Canadian citizen will I be subject to the laws of the DMCA?

Here is the DMCA Affirmation they want me to sign:

"I, **My Name Here**, have fully read and agree to Giganews' Terms of Service linked here http://www.giganews.com/legal/tos_personal.html. I understand that Giganews only sells single-user accounts, and therefore all posts made by my account are my responsibility. My Giganews account will no longer be used to post any unauthorized copies of copyrighted materials. I understand that Giganews has the right, authority, and complete discretion to terminate my account without notice and without refund or suspend posting from my account should further unauthorized copies of copyrighted materials be posted. I understand that this is my first and last chance.

Under the laws of perjury in the United States, I hereby affirm the above and that my name is **My Name** and I reside at **My Home Address**. I further affirm that I electronically sign this form of my own free will."]]></description>

<title>sickbeard: not seeing upcoming episodes for one show</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,26809763</link>
<description><![CDATA[So as far as I know, sickbeard has been working like a charm for a number of months now. Today, however, I noticed that for one show, it stopped "seeing" upcoming episodes even though thetvdb.com has them listed.  There may be other shows with the same issue -- anyway to get sickbeard to start picking up new eps for this (and possibly other) shows?

(And in fact, it didn't know to download an ep that aired this past Sunday even though my NZB/rss source had it shortly after it did air)]]></description>

<title>Is Filepost blocking US/CDN IP&#x27;s?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,26833413</link>
<description><![CDATA[I've come across some mention that Filepost is blocking US IP addresses.   Any links I follow lately for Filepost result in "folder is empty" messages.  I've tried using various high-anonymity proxies located in various countries, but I get the same message.

I test the proxy I'm using with http://ip.my-proxy.com/ so I know my real IP isin't making it through to Filepost.  I don't use proxies that often, so I don't know if there are any proxies that 100% hide the fact that they are "proxifying" me or not, so I can't be sure that filepost is blocking me because it knows I'm using a proxy (even if it doesn't know my real IP).  

Or maybe the folders really are empty (but I doubt it - they're freshly posted).]]></description>

<title>[Newsgroups] New Newzbin URL</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,26812410</link>
<description><![CDATA[
http://www.newzbin2.es/

From Mr.White

"Newzbin is leaving the American Internet. In a couple of weeks we will cease to use the newzbin.com domain and move to newzbin2.es.

We regret the need to do this but, thanks to the retards in the US Government and the MPA, a '.com' address is no longer viable. Really, any domain controlled by the US government proxy Verisign isn't viable. 

For the next couple of weeks we are undertaking preparations for the move. We will switch shortly after that. For legal reasons the defunct 'newzbin.com' page will not do any redirects or give links to the new sites. If you wish you can start using the .es domain straight away.

As you may know we rent the domain name rather than own it. What the owners will do with it when we are gone is out of our control, but we will pay the rent for a few more months."]]></description>

<title>[BT] Are there any proxy experts here?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,26796258</link>
<description><![CDATA[My roommate got a notice for copyright infringment.  I don't want us to lose our internet service, and I told him I heard of proxy sites, but told him I don't know if they are fee based and don't know how they work.  Can someone PM me and advise me on how to use them?

Personally, I don't do music or movies or pron, used to, but I pretty much only get a few books and an occasional app since my budget makes it literally impossible to pay a lot of money since I only have about 50 bucks a month to spare normally (I am disabled, but trying to get work for the disabled).

<title>Peer Block blocks VPN connection</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,26805669</link>
<description><![CDATA[Hi 

I am unable to connect to my VPN server ( PacketiX) unless I disable Peer Block. Then the VPN connection works fine, but this of course defeats the whole purpose both of a VPN server and 
Peer Block ! Please note I have forwarded the VPN Port in my router settings as well. I have tried to configure Peer Block by going to the settings, but I can't see how to do it. 

In addition,both U Torrent and Bit Spirit stop torrent downloads when I am connected to the  VPN server.
Can anybody tell me :

1.How to configure Peer Block so that it doesn't block the connection to the VPN server? 

2. How to configure U Torrent or Bit Spirit to work with a VPN connection? 

Thanks 

Ittiandro]]></description>

<title>P2P file sharing network? (not the internet though)</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,26770243</link>
<description><![CDATA[Has anyone ever thought of this? I am right now lol...

Why couldn't you connect multiple homes, towns etc all with wireless networking WISP equipment, so they're all connected on the network.

Then, modify some P2P file sharing software, so each computer makes a list of it's uptime, files, etc to determin reliability, then, the P2P software would be different because it would automatically download and share files that are desired and not shared enough. 

This would allow a giant network to share movies and files without even connecting to the internet. ]]></description>
