MediaSentry and other RIAA Automated-Goons Semi-Precise Targeting
Well people do steal IP addresses. Either shady business (shady is relative to oppressiveness of resident country’s government), or unavailability (resident country’s government refuses to give you IP address or they just don’t have any left), or just don’t want to pay for the IPs. You can configure your computer to use any IP address you please. If you are in another country you can just use a black-market region-free icann-ignoring router, if you even need one. Just if somebody else is using it, you’ll knock both yourself and the other party offline! But if the IP’s owner isn’t using it and hasn’t used in awhile and won’t use it for a long while, he’ll never know!!
I wonder, why are this ‘bogons’ (unassigned or well-known unused ip address ranges) are so aggressively blocked by bluetack, which (hopefully) work for the security and well-being of P2P filesharing users and common-civilian users in general? Do national governments steal IP addresses? Of course the mafia would use stolen IP addresses for their virii and botnets and spam networks. Does the RIAA and MPAA themselves steal IP addresses for monitoring and sabotage?
Either way I get far more hits from NetSentry than I do from MediaSentry. I get the most from cyberverse online, which is MPAA I think. BayTSP uses packet sniffing and seems to have shifted to high-profile, high quality high-price, such as corporate trade secrets and really high-end, high-priced products like $50,000/copy medical records software. BayTSP uses deep-packet sniffing, possibly licensed from CacheLogic. MediaSentry and NetSentry spider the P2P networks with mutant clients and servers.
Kazaa is a thing of the past.
