Some countries have already started receiving letters of happiness torrent from providers. “You received a complaint from the copyright owner of such and such a film that it was downloaded / distributed from your IP at a certain time. And of course, we (the provider) are not yet entitled, without a court decision, to divulge the requested information about you to the right holder, but by the court’s decision we will have to do it ... ”
As I understand it is done so
Special departments or specially hired "owners of rights" offices create bots. They are registered on the most popular private (we even had this with Demonoid) and public torrent trackers and their bots come in exchange for the most popular and interesting files of the copyright holder. As a result of the exchange, they receive logs with IP addresses of the distributing and downloading participants of the exchange. Further to their providers such letters of happiness given above are also sent.
How to avoid getting into such logs?
So I had an idea about how to deal with such bots. There is a suspicion that they all (or the overwhelming number of them) are located in the United States (maybe a few more countries). Fortunately or unfortunately, such activities in India will be outsourced and it will be difficult for them to continue because of all the same laws within the country. Accordingly, if we exclude the IP addresses of the USA + of our country from the exchange, the chances of not getting caught will increase. And if for example leave only Russian, then they generally come to naught. ')
Now the question is how easy is it to do?
Obviously, blocking all traffic at the firewall level to / from a certain country is inconvenient. It is necessary, to find (I could not find a ready under Windows) proxy. Through which to release the torrent client. So that he would allow you to send requests and receive replies only to and from the IP addresses of certain countries. It is advisable not to allow the use of anonymous known proxy in the permitted country in order to get content from a prohibited country. TE to block access to resources (all ports) of certain countries.
If someone knows more about the process of catching and realistic (TOR and I2P do not fit) ways to avoid it, please share with everyone.
