Re: I wonder what Shaw will do when Canadian DMCA becomes LAW
one alternative is to use usenet with SSL encryption. no one's going to know what you're downloading. its damn fast and caters to leechers.
fine print: unless isp provides good service (telus and shaw don't) it costs $10-15/month plus. however, pretty much the only service guaranteed to max out your connection. |

Maybe so, but it is not hard for an ISP to see the MB's upon MB's worth of encrypted traffic coming from your connection and take action accordingly.

As long as you're not going over ISP limits, would your isp care if it was encrypted? They get a court order to divulge that info, and that have proof that you're moving alot of encrypted files, which really doesn't prove anything? |

| My apologies, I was speaking in regards to the fact that some customers use the encryption to bypass ISP throttling of Usenet services, and then think they are getting away with something, where in fact it would not be difficult at all for them to then throttle port 563 or 443 traffic because of the traffic usage.
