any network at any time can be watched
 
The best you can do is click the option not allowing people to see your files, use a program like peerguadian htttp://www.peerguardian.net or protowall http://www.bluetack.co.uk/pw.html which both block ip addresses of known p2p enemys, protowall is a little harder to install but blocks far better and uses alot less resources, if you do choose to use them update the block list regularly....

You can also use the converter http://www.bluetack.co.uk to put the list into a firewall like kerio, zonealarm but as the ip address ranges are not perfect they sometimes block websites and you can have difficulty removing/altering the offending range...


They are not 100%, but people who use them seem to report alot less copyright infringement emails....
 
i would not use peerguardian if i was you, they have ranges in there that should not be there and you endup blocking people you don't want to block. also there is no way to block any group specially riaa with something like that, the ip ranges they use are why to many for people to know and block and they can be easily changed.

in reality thinking you can block riaa with something like peergaurdian is a joke :lol:
 
you must be joking, let me tell you right now boss for your own protection and knowledge:

there is not ip blocker that can save you from any group what so ever, never ever belive that and fall for that, i'm only one person and peerguardian won't stop me from connecting to you.

so be smart and don't fall for that crap. we used the ipblocker to block the crappy sources in klite not to protect ourselves from riaa.

I dont know what your talking about, i never said it was one hundred percent but isnt it proof that if it mostly blocks fakes distributed by the likes of mediadefender then the blocklist works, and these are the same companys that scan for copyright material yet by your logic they would be changing IP address every five minutes making the kazza/peerguardian blocklist useless but its not useless because they dont change ip every five minutes.......

I bet you'll find that blocklist users get far less copyright infringement notices than non users.
It's not perfect but it's better than nothing,....
 
ok boss i warned you, i'm sharing info with you as a friend i'm not trying to argue with you. ipblocker being used as a device to stop riaa is equivalent of a small boat protecting you in a tidal waves or tsunamis.

ask anybody that has been around and knows you can be safe from the riaa by the way of peerguardian.

if you want to look at it as a safety then ya it provides you with 5% safety

Your risk assessment lacks data.

It is true we do not know how effective Peer Guardian's blocklist is.
But circumstantial evidence suggests it is of SOME help, although by no means 100%.

Just because we don't know all or even MOST of the hostiles ip ranges doesn't mean we shouldn't block the KNOWN hostile ip ranges.

Cogent/PSI is on the 38.x.x.x ip block and are very anti-p2p, but they also host many big websites -- so blocking them in part is neccessary but often results in random websites being blocked.

BayTSP and Pricewaterhouse Coopers are 2 purely anti-p2p corporations dedicated to detecting and documenting file-sharer activities. They should be blocked too.

Many of these ranges have been confirmed, cross-checked, rechecked, and REPEATEDLY DETECTED in actual use on Kazaa, BitTorrent, E-Mule, Shareaza, and other file-sharing programs.

You have given up without trying and recommend others to do the same.

Then one thing we definitely CAN agree on is that using Peer Guardian is NOT as good as using an integrated ip blocker in a file-sharing program.

Peer Guardian will block ANY connection attempt, whether it's made by Kazaa Lite, Internet Explorer (for a web page), AIM, ICQ, IRC, etc. This can be bad if it's a website in one of the over-broad hostile ranges.

But if the same block list were used in Kazaa Lite K++'s internal blocker, those ip addresses would ONLY be blocked if KL++ was trying to connect to/from/with them. IE would be able to visit the websites previously blocked just fine.
