P2P Alert
Starting tomorrow the RIAA will begin collecting evidence and preparing lawsuits against file sharers who illegally offer music online. This means individuals, like Jesse Jordan and The College Four or retired Penn State Prof Peter Usher, not the file sharing companies, they already lost that battle [pdf].
For those brazen enough to continue, don't forget that your ISP can be required to turn over information about your online activities without so much as a judge's order.
The RIAA has also provided a list of authorized online music sources if you wish to avoid being the poster boy for file sharing "piracy".
Previous Post: The WSJ reported on Freenet software that subscribers could use to shield their identities or disguise their IP information and Wired reported on PeerGuardian which can create a personal firewall that blocks the IP addresses of snoops. Of course, you should determine whether the Super-DMCA is applicable before utilizing any such software.
