Conceal Your Identity from Spying Eyes
January, 2008

If you use bittorrents, eDonkey, WinMX, Gnutella, Limewire, or any other P2P network, then you are likely being scanned by investigators. In an effort to trap and prosecute people for abusing copyrighted movies and music, investigators often pose as P2P downloaders. While they themselves share and download copyrighted files, these "posers" also scan and log your IP (internet protocol) address. Your computer IP address then becomes ammunition for civil lawsuits, where you may be sued for copyright infringement.

These investigator "posers" are everywhere. Their efforts will sometimes result in wholesale lawsuits, where hundreds of downloaders are charged thousands of dollars in copyright fines. Investigating posers comprise up to 3% of all P2P downloaders you may be sharing files with.

In this war over digital freedoms, there are a couple of options for concealing your identity from these prying eyes.

Move to Spain, All analog an digital recording equipment , in fact anything that can record data carries a special tax, which is then distributed
via the government to the various association's responsible for the copyright

So my view is why should I pay twice for something I can get via P2P
