pay for individual show so at least the ratings and money goes to the right
initiatives. we are forced to support products we don't use.
sure advertise the products but stop trying to shove sport down my throat and shit.

weird. i downloaded all 43 episodes of in treatment and grab
bill maher every week and i've never gotten a letter (jinx). i guess hbo gives
more of a shit about some shows than others. i was going to wait and grab this
series later in the summer, when i have more free time and the pressure eases.
i do not watch the two shows you refer to but i'd hazard a guess that their
budgets are nothing in realms of deadwood, rome, nor john adams (typically the type of programs they contact isps over), so i can
understand why they do give a shit about some shows more than others. but i
also know that if the execs really put their heads into it, they could find a
way to make the p2p system work for them ... i dunno thru advertising,
subscriptions, or whateva.
there is no denying that the torrent system works and its unknown territory for
some people in the industry who are too old and stubborn to change their ways.
inevitably they will be left in the dust or die out anyway, of this i am
sure ... so its only a matter of time before things sort themselves out for the
better.
i must have my rose coloured glasses on today because i'm usually more
pessimistic about how the world is gonna turn out ... mind you i'm still
waiting for john titor's predictions to pan out - it's 2008 - crunch time!
certainly i've got plenty of pessimistic stuff i could add to the discussion
about us politics and the hypocrisy of the bush regime when considering those
words written within the declaration of independence... but i don't think i
have the energy today.

yeah my bet is the bot can read and log your ip and isp reg and send the email
off without a seconds notice.

i have a funny feeling hbo doesn't want to stop "piracy." there's a certain
price-setting value to sustaining the myth that "pirates" represent a real and
signifigant loss. if they do just enough to appear to be "combatting" the
problem, they can justify higher rates to their subscribers, without it
being "their" fault.
"we'd love to lower our rates, but our efforts to stop the 'pirates' (who are
stealing what you, the honest consumer, pay for with your hard-earned money) is
expensive!"
it's amazing what you can get people to pay for, if you create and promote the
illusion of an undocumented threat.

well theoretically they could log on to the tracker, and
see the ips just as you
see them in ut...
maybe use peerguardian/tor/etc?
yup it has been know to happen, that is what they are citing when contacting the isp
also your suggestion is good, and pretty reliable imho
here is a quick guide to bittorrent + tor:
wiki.torproject.org/noreply/theonionrouter/torifyhowto/bittorrent
it is quite easy, and the speed is fine as long as the "use proxy for peer to
peer connections" is kept unchecked.
nothing is guaranteed but it will decrease exposure of your ip address
