Sorry but i am not willing to answer that question.

Didn't mean to upset anyone. Just asking a question out of interest. I thought the only way these companies could gather their information was by joining the p2p file sharing and harvesting the lP addresses.

Remember that your internet goes from your ISP through a number of companies backbones and eventually to it's target on another ISP/HOST.. The data can be intercepted anywhere along that route.. Perhaps even in another country

Is this something that is happening now? It sounded like it might happen. Is it legal to intercept peoples web traffic? Can you point me in the direction of some sites that I can do more research. His this to do with the forth coming DEA or something different?

The problem is the questions you're asking are similar to the type of things someone involved in illegal downloading might also want to ask, especially if they wanted to try and stay "one step ahead".

I'm not saying you're up to anything illegal - maybe you are, maybe you aren't - however discussion of things which could aid someone up to no good is not permitted on CF.

Sorry that was not my intention I was looking at it from a privacy angle. I didn't like the thought of all my web traffic being snipped on.

I've read articles on phlegm before but thought that that was just advertising rather than all your web traffic.

I'm not sure how to ask a question that relates to privacy which could not be viewed a different way.

Is there a different thread which discusses this issue from a privacy angle orr could someone pleaser give me a start with a google search.

Sorry if I have posted in the wrong thread or asked the wrong question.

I see the leaked emails are starting to show ACS law are allegedly in it to get the most out of it and that they are worried about the legitimacy of some of the data used to accuse those that they are demanding money from. It also shows that they still targeted people with demands for money when there was doubt.

They also seem to have not targeted 2 of the biggest isps in the uk, Some have surmised this could be because the two 2 isps in question do not accept the way the evidence has been captured and feel its flawed.

There also seems to be a very big list of SKY users complete with ip address, names and mac address supplied to them in that form

which relates to downloads of a certain adult film,

BTW please do not ask me to give links to this information in the raw, Google is your friend

If there's one term that I hate when asking a question then it has to be 'Google is your friend'. To me it's the most patronising and condescending and ultimately worthless saying going. Defeats the whole object of joining a forum if that's the kind of reply you get.

Sorry but thats rubbish. I get 99% of my information from a simple google search. Why some cannot master that is beyond me. What is more annoying is people NOT using any form of search and instead expecting others to spoon feed them the info.

Well that's good for you, why not answer every question with that same pointless reply, after all if we all did that then there won't be much info on this forum at all.

I like to click on a thread, read through it and see posters asking relevant questions and then read and answers/replies instead of 'Google is your friend'. If you don't want to answer, then don't reply. Not too much to ask for on a info based forum.

I hope you understand what I'm trying to say.
