    Angry Shareaza SUCKS - Cablevision - Legal Notice...

    Highly dissappointed I just got a legal notice from cablevision from the BSA Business Software Alliance that I was sharing illegal software. Can you believe that $hit? I am deleting shareaza completely...

    You would think the software could hide your IP info but no its staring me right in the face...

    This discussion has taken place over and over again. In order for someone to make a connection to your computer you need an IP address. In other words they didn't get it from shareaza they got it when they made a connection to what you were "illegally" sharing.

    Kazaa doesn't reveal the IP address to you but countless people have been snagged by the RIAA.

    hey...where are you from ?
    cause "cablevision" sounds to me like you live in Mexico... am I right ? 'Cause if you are using this provider to share files, you ARE in big troubles... since Mexican Cablevision uses static LAN IP... and the BSA is monitoring Cablevision 24/7...
    It is not shareaza, it is the provider in this specific case...

    Cablevision is also an American cable company. If he were in mexico I dont think he'd be getting that notice.

    Ip address arent a big secret. For example for you to be able to see the Zeropaid page your client (web browser, i will make a "wild" guess and say you are using IE) sends an request for the page to the zeropaid server (Apache, I hope; im skipping the dns part also...). The data your client sends is your ip address so that the zeropaid web server knows were the hell to send the page. Webservers log everything for security. Which means that right now, unless you are using a proxy, ZP knowns your IP address. Dont be shock thats how the internet works (TCP/IP).

    The only real way to have a safe P2P app is to program it to redirect packages all over the place (freenet). What you should really do is just move whatever they are crapping their pants about off your share folder.

    Just using something other than kazaa doesnt make you 100% safe. I think alot of people dont realize that. They assume that if you arent on kazaa that no one is out there looking to bust you. Well they are. The ONLY way to hide yourself is to use a proxy between you and the person you are sharing with.

    Otherwise anytime you connect to someone they can see your IP address. Most likely they just sent a C&D letter to make you stop. Comply with it and keep your nose clean for a long while.

    The only way to be 'safe' is to run through innumerable proxies. Of course then you have to remember that all the proxy data may be logged and any organisations that really want to find you could just follow the chain...

    that's right!

    blame cablevision! it must be their fault you were sharing something that you shouldn't have been! it's shareazas fault that internet packets need addresses so they know where to go!

    at no point should you ever take personal responsibility for your actions!

    it has to be someone elses' fault

    Yep, and I'm going to take the even easier way out and blame Yoda.

    no, it's what he's sharing

    if he shared something else (legal files for instance, or nothing) there would be no problems at all

    Take responsibility for your actions, nothing is as safe as you may think.
