Americke ISP zacali rusit P2P traffic: Druhy najvacsi americky provider pripojenia Comcast zaviedol specialne filtre, ktore znemoznuju seedovanie:

Some time around May 2007, Comcast installed new software or equipment on its networks that began selectively interfering with some of Comcast's customers' TCP/IP connections. The most widely discussed interference was with certain BitTorrent peer-to-peer (P2P) file-sharing communications, but other protocols have also been affected. This white paper is intended to set forth the current state of public knowledge about Comcast's interference activities.

Reakcia bola podana zaloba a prirucka od EFF ako zistit ci vas provider nesaha do bittorrent trafficu posielanim falosnych RST packetov znemoznujucich seedovat.

Do vysetrovania situacie sa pustila americka agentura FCC, ale ludia su skepticki, pretoze ide o vladnu agenturu:

"the FCC is an arm of the same Bush administration that enlisted the nation's internet and phone companies to assist with the warrantless snooping of Americans' electronic communications. So, THREAT LEVEL assures that the FCC will conclude that Comcast's practice does not breach the concept of Net Neutrality .."

Simultanne sa objavili spravy ze P2P traffic modifikuje aj dalsi provider, Cox, rovnakym sposobom ako Comcast:

Proti P2P sa zacinaju hybat aj ti najvacsi giganti: v novembri najvacsie americke ISP AT&T potvrdzuje suskandy, ze sa mieni zaoberat internetovym piratstvom, pretoze zacala poskytovat pay-tv sluzby.

"As AT&T has begun selling pay-television services, the company has realized that its interests are more closely aligned with Hollywood"

Pomocou zakupenej technologie Video DNA mieni AT&T filtrovat kontrolovany traffic:


AT&T minuly tyzden rokuje s Microsoftom, NBC Universal, a spolocnostami zaoberajucicmi sa netovym filtrovanim, zatialco rozhovory s MPAA a RIAA prebiehaju uz niekolko mesiacov:

"What we are already doing to address piracy hasn’t been working. There’s no secret there,” said James Cicconi, senior vice president, external & legal affairs for AT&T."

Avsak pirati situaciu ocakvali uz dlho. Na nete sa nachadza celosvetovy zoznam ISP s informaciami akymi sposobmi blokuju P2P traffic:

The following is a list of Internet service providers (ISPs) that are known to cause trouble for BitTorrent clients or other P2P clients and the reason why. If you are using one of the following ISPs, please consider finding a new, better one.

Bittorent klienti (ako napr. uTorrent) uz davno podporuju sifrovanie trafficu, cim sa ISP podstatne stazi uloha rozlisit bittorent traffic od ineho datoveho toku a kontrolovat ho. Anglicky The Register sa dostava ku statistikam, ktore hovoria ze za posledny rok sa objem sifrovanej bittorentovej komunikacie zdesatnasobil:

Figures from a large UK ISP obtained by The Register show that the portion of BitTorrent traffic encrypted by file-sharers has risen 10-fold in the last 12 months, from four to 40 per cent.

Jednou z foriem vyhybania sa kontrole P2P sieti je enkrypcia. Su vsak aj ISP, ktore blokuju vsetku zasifrovanu komunikaciu, ako napr. kanadsky Rogers

Situacia sa este komplikuje: bittorent.com (spolocnost vynalezcu protokolu Bittorent) uz minuly rok zacala s legalnym predavanim filmov cez bittorrent. Bittorent traffic sa pouziva vsade kde treba stahovat velke mnozstvo dat (obrazky z NASA, linuxove distribucie, etc). Ako odlisti legalny torrentovy traffic od nelegalneho ? A co ked bude vsetka bittorentova komunikacia v buducnosti sifrovana ?

Do boja sa zapajaju aj notoricki The Pirate Bay, po znepristupneni zdrojoveho kodu ku Bittorent protokolu 6.0 sa jeho dalsi vyvoj stal neopodstatnenym, a zacal sa vyvoj noveho, bezpecneho protokolu zvaneho secureP2P. Projektova WIKI stranka vsak vyzera opusteno:

Bittorent je napadany nielen najatymi firmami ako MediaDefender, ktore na trackeroch siria falosne torrenty, ktore sa nikdy nestiahnu, ale aj ludmi ktori sa prostrednictvom torrentov snazia zarabat peniaze. Par pravidiel ako zistit ci sa nechystate stiahnut falosny torrent:

BitTorrent is sadly being used by a minority to generate money for scammers through trickery and deception. We’ve reported before how people download movies only to learn that they require a special media player to play it, or others which come with a payload of malware to infect their PC when they install it.

Stahovanie pripomina minove pole, ak sa vsak zorientujete spravne, zapnete enkrypciu a mate dobreho providera, postasti sa vam este dnes stiahnut giganticku asian-porn orgiu:
