I probably don’t care about protecting sources as much as having the videos) in my hoard. So I would copy it a few times and then turn it in and do what I please with my copies. The law currently not adapted to such acts especially with my autistic-obsessive hoarder psychology. I would slip through the cracks in this case as they seemed to be looking for evidence more than containing a possibly containable leak. If I happened to not like the video though I probably wouldn’t have blogged it but I would also probably have dumped the leaked tapes, probably by putting it on top of the mailbox or where somebody can pick it up as it would be a ‘one persons trash is another’s treasure’ type of item.

My Verizon Phone upgrade is early January of 2007. My mother recklessly runs up $5-15 every month of downloads and only remembers about a fourth of them without significant digging or research when I ask here how she ran it up. I hate Verizon Wireless’s ‘Shopping Mall’ business model that resembles CompuServe of the late ’80s and Early ’90s and I refuse to participate in it and don’t like my mother or sister being suckered into it either. I only ‘tolerate’ it because I get to abuse my bandwidth on my BroadbandAccess/NationalAccess with 24/7 Emule P2P Filesharing. If I can’t get a phone that lets me play at least no-DRM MP3s and no-DRM JPGs that originated from my computer that originated from god who knows where (most probable – Emule P2P, Web, Self-ripped CD), I will probably just get a cheap Nokia brick again (even the cheap Nokias have cameras now). Also I will still never buy an IPOD. I will only buy a hard-disk portable unit (whatever it plays or records) that supports USB OTG. Simple USB-mass storage accessibly is all I need for lower-priced solid-state devices (mostly just generic hard-disk enclosures, memory cards and thumb/pen drives)

Proxydom.com or FireWallDown.com will get you in. There are hundreds of proxies owned by a few dozen companies/people, all linked together through proxy topsites (a whole array of buttons below the search box that is at least 2/3 links to topsites). You can’t login through the web proxies but you’ll at least be able to view profiles.

Copy my damned hard drive within the time it takes to process everything else and I’d probably wouldn’t care. I Share it up on emule and have other copies. No containment can occur. But if you ain’t got no money, then you do prefer them to copy rather than seize. If you really need to cover up evidence and did it preemptively, and relatively full hard disk and a regularly scheduled defrag can be almost as good as a disk wiper (better on areas with high-turnover). Plus you keep your hard drive going fast 
. Wipe-disk / disk-defragging works on seizure/lab forensics too (a forensics-grade image that is just about as good as having the actual HD – might be better because they can copy that image multiple-fold and try to crack passwords especially for NTFS encrypted files). Remember that portable forensic hard disk copiers do a low-level read-only copy into a forensic image-file, and can do it by USB-booting into the forensic copier. If you disabled USB booting and passworded your BIOS you can probably expect a seizure instead whether it is a border inspection or a house/office search warrant, and it can take months for you to get your machine back if you get it back at all because they have beauracracy and also assume that you probably have organized crime, terrorist, or foreign-goverment backing of funds.
