If you have a business with extensive intellectual property holdings, the TPP (Trans Pacific Partnership Agreement) is probably a great treaty for you. But just like ACTA, it's being negotiated pretty much in total secrecy. And just like ACTA, it's been leaked ( Read more... )

Sounds like really good encryption and networks designed to anonymize peer-to-peer transfers are on tap unless someones in the legislation grow a spine and decide that they're okay with pissing off all the Hollywood/Copyright donors.

There's TOR, The Onion Router, but they intend it specifically to anonymize legitimate traffic and not for P2P. I've thought about installing TOR, I can't download Wikileaks stuff at home or school due to blocking.

I didn't post the article, but Hollywood is posting consistent gains in box office receipts, largely due to 3-D. So movie piracy is hurting them how? The RIAA, however....

I've thought about TOR, too, but the connection I'm on is probably not a good candidate, and my ISP takes any DMCA reports seriously, to the point of believing hucksters and borderline scam artists when they send things, so having a TOR relay or exit point for me would probably result in bad things.

I have no interest in illegal downloads, but it ticks me off that I can't download Wikileaks. Maybe I'll install it and go to an internet cafe.
