Wanna hear something funny? Just say um nope this never happened. Someone must have been stealing my wireless internet. Ask them for more proof or to stop accusing you without it. BTW...they have none. Works everytime for me. Always lie unless under oath cause they can't prove it was you clicking links or downloading shit. Your computer was compromised with a Trojan. Get creative. They are just trying to scare you. Call their bluff and watch em fold.

You know the i2p (invisible internet project) has built in support for bittorrent. The bittorrent exists only inside the i2p network which not only encrypts your communications so your isp can't spy on them it obfuscates the source by routing it through multiple nodes so even the person you are connected to does not know where the communications are coming from/going to. It's what I use for my piracy needs these days.
Though I have never had problems with piracy and I've filled TB drives with pirated media (every thing from scientific journal articles to ROMs for just about any console with an emulator).
Also streaming is still one big legal grey area for the person watching the stream so I'd recommend sites like icefilms.info (there is an awesom XBMC plugin for the site). So that is a good option at the moment.
EDIT: forgot the link to i2p www.[B]i2p[/B]2.de

The problem wasn't Avatar, it was using a Peer 2 Peer FIle Sharing System.

There are a few things to keep in mind with regard to using blocklists to avoid detection on p2p networks.
First Peer Guardian is defunct and has been superseded by Peer Block
Third they are far from 100% effective considering most anti-piracy groups only contact the tracker for a list of peers without ever actually trying to connect to the peers. (If they have changed their behavior as suggested in the following paper I am unaware of it. I highly doubt it considering their history of employing dubious tactics)
Challenges and Directions for Monitoring P2P File Sharing Networks –or– Why My Printer Received a DMCA Takedown Notice
I highly recommend using either a trusted VPN or a program that obfuscates your identity by routing through multiple nodes.
I have discussed i2p however tor is another option that has been discussed elsewhere.
OneSwarm is a cross-platform p2p program that allows you to control who you share individual files with and obfuscates the source and destination of communications by routing through multiple nodes. It claims superior performance to freenet and tor. The source is available from github and you can read more at their homepage.
Another option is to rent access to a Virtual Private Network (VPN) however you have to trust that they are not keeping logs and don't even bother with the free ones. Be ready to pay a hefty price (remember your not just renting a VPN your buying their silence). When considering how much a good VPN will cost remember to compare it to the cost of getting on the shit-list of lawyers who are looking for people to extort. Settling out of court will costs thousands and going to court will cost far more then that.
Some would recommend the use of public proxies I am not one of them, in my experience most public proxies would sell you out to stiff breeze. Still they could provide a novel method of avoiding detection by anti-piracy groups. Use at your own risk though.
None of these options are bulletproof but all of them will decrease the chance that you get caught up in one of these flimsy extortion schemes.
edit: crap forgot about usenet. Safer then bittorrent because only the usenet provider sees your IP, but shop around for you provider (assuming you ISP doesn't offer it) because some of them are rip-offs.

Second the blocklist program is only as good as the blocklist(s) it uses. [Bluetrak has been the defacto standard since blocklists got popular for bittorrent]

While I do not discourage the use of blocklists (quite the contrary I recommend it) I can not stress enough that they cannot protect you against all cases of anti-piracy group extortion.

I ONLY READ THE OP
OP. I just got SUED FOR THIS SHIT, so WATCH OUT!!
Get this: My old roommate used to download shit. He was an illegal mexican he was good at it. One day I get a letter from Verizon stating that a specific lawyer firm was asking for my information because I "stole" a movie from their clients. I had no idea, I wasnt living with the guy anymore. The account had been closed. But my name was on the IP address bill, so the laywers came to me. He downloaded (yes, im serious) ASIAN BOOTY 9. and IM getting fucked for it. These days theyre calling it a "hold" up because the movie only costs 10 dollars tops, but they will come after you for thousands of dollars. In all honesty, they got 500 out of me. That was after paying 2 grand for a lawyer. This is FEDERAL government shit. Its not good. Get a lawyer if your getting sued, its better to pay him than pay these bitch ass companies in court.

Curious. First post.
This is why you use proxies and change the default port in your torrent application. Saves tracking and monitoring

What is an "illegal Mexican" exactly? And what do you mean he was good at it? Why? Because he was Mexican? So because were Mexican we're automatically good at breaking the law?
So am I to assume that only illegal aliens steal copy written software/movies/etc.? You need to watch how you word things. People take offense careless ignorant generalizations like that.
Fucking typical.

Woooooooooooooooooh. He was an illegal mexican that was good at downloading movies. Never meant it was because he was mexican. I was saying he was illegal to make the point that all the legal info was put on me because we couldn't use his name for anything. It was never meant to be racially profiling. Him being illegal was an important part to this ordeal. CHILL DUDE.

I didn't write that all out because I'm some politically correct, california hippy -douche bag, sticking my nose in other people business. I'm Mexican, and I take offense to the way you wrote that. I have a sick sence of humor, and I can take it just as well as I can dish it, but that's not the case here.
Chill my ass. Watch your mouth.
