I didn't want to post the full story cause its even longer than this, but the bottom line is starting today most ISP's including Verizon, At&T, Comcast and others will have this "six strike" rule in effect. Which could ultimately get your service suspended...
Downloading music/movies...six strikes" system designed to curb copyright infringement will go live in the United States, affecting customers on many of the nations' top internet service providers (ISPs). While avoiding the most draconian of punishments proposed in past plans -- severing offenders' internet connections -- the system will carry serious consequences including connection throttling and forced "education" from anti-piracy groups.
Under the plan, copyright watchdogs like the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) -- groups that have been internationally involved in convictions or settlements involving their own "theft" of independent artists' work --will join peer-to-peer networks or BitTorrent transfers and log internet protocol (IP) addresses of people who are downloading "confirmed infringed content".
The first warning carries no action, but later warnings carry ISP-specific "Mitigation actions". The (sort of) good news is that there is a path to appeal warnings. Writes the CCI:
There is a $35 filing fee, which may be waived if you meet affordability criteria. The fee will be refunded if your challenge is successful.
Still, the system is a concern for real estate owners and Wi-Fi cafe owners, in that their services could be limited due to their customers’ actions. In many cases, it would be near impossible for such entities to police their customers’ actions.
The simple solution for business people in that situation is to cancel their service with AT&T, Verizon, Comcast, or Time Warner and seek a local alternative.
Of course that approach could be difficult in some regions, and may become infeasible if more ISPs jump on the CCI bandwagon. For now, though, there are alternatives for many customers who want to avoid the system.

Warning System Launched for Movie, Music Pirates
By CHRISTOPHER S. STEWART And SHALINI RAMACHANDRAN
Internet service providers have launched a more coordinated effort to deal with subscribers who illegally download movies, TV shows and music.
AT&T Inc., T +0.85% Cablevision Systems Corp., CVC +1.80% Time Warner Cable Inc, TWC +0.58% Verizon Communications Inc. VZ +0.87% and Comcast Corp. CMCSA +0.71% have put into place an alerts system with "six strikes," with various degrees of penalty for subscribers accused of piracy.
The Digital Millennium Copyright Act already requires ISPs to notify users of piracy complaints made by media companies. But the new system, dubbed the Copyright Alert System, brings the major ISPs under one uniform program and for the first time involves a progressively assertive series of six alerts, starting with a letter or email about the infraction and escalating to where it may slow down a user's Internet connection.
"The goal is to change behavior and get people to pay attention," said Jill Lesser, executive director of the Center for Copyright Information, the group coordinating the effort.
The program will be driven by intelligence gathered by the Recording Industry Association of America and the Motion Picture Association of America, the trade groups for the music and media companies.
The Internet service providers will employ harsher rules for repeat offenders who, once warned, don't rein in their piracy appetites. But the ISPs are using different kinds of penalties. Time Warner Cable, for instance, said that after the first four notifications, it will lock down offenders' browser until they call a number and show that they understand what they have done and agree to stop.
After six strikes, ISPs reserve the right to curtail use. "We reserve the right to terminate a user's account for serious abuse," a Time Warner Cable spokesman said.
Verizon's FiOS says it plans to slow down the Internet speeds of repeat offenders on the sixth time they are notified. Comcast won't slow down Internet speeds but it will ask repeat offenders to watch an educational video.
The Internet service providers say that at each stage, the customers will be able to appeal a claim.
Ms. Lesser said that the program probably won't deter "large scale pirates," though she expected it to address the more "casual infringer."
The ISPs agreed to the system in 2011, though it has taken more than a year for the companies to deploy the program.

Probably not but who knows. They're wanting to control everything! -

They probably can track it but they normally attack the sites that offer the service. This is mainly about torrents and p2p programs. -
Does this also include downloading of software or just music and movies?
-

Everything. Software included. -
In the last few weeks I've noticed my download speed has slowed down...
-
lol I noticed too I dont check my email so idk if they sent me any warnings
What if you get more than 6 warnings and keep doing it after watching the educational video? -
bye bye bootleggers
-
its only applying to torrents?

its only applying to torrents?
Yes. Everything else? Filestube? All them download sites? Usenet? Etc? you good...for now
they already had a system before. i already got warnings before. Then I changed a few utorrent settings, installed peerblock, and have heard ? for years since. Oh and Verizon just wiped the record of them at the end of the calender year. How bout that. You gotta understand these ISPs ain't stupid they know why ppl even wanted high speed internet in the first place. They just trying to throw the RIAA and MPAA a bone so they'll stop calling them ? & crying at 3am when all 30 DVD screeners they sent out yesterday pop up on Pirate Bay.
I ain't changing ? . Let's see how real they is bout dis. Wreck Em Ralph 1080p should be a good test. New Disney movies are always "hot".
If I get a warning, BTGuard is $6 a month.
What year ya'll think this is? Unless the gov't pull a Syria and just shut it all down, can't NOBODY stop the internet no more, b. Haven't you ? heard about Tor and the Deep Web? You can use Tor to mail-order drugs over the internet. You can buy an assassin on Tor. Seriously. The FBI even said they can't track the pedos using it for child porn....and there's LOTS OF THOSE. Supposedly there's even dark nets where they said you need to give dudes like $20k in cash and video of yourself, face visible, murdering someone or ? a kid, so you can't go to the cops. lmao ? 's crazy. -

Tor is an encryption software that uses servers all over the world to to hide peoples location. It's slow so people don't use it for torrents but they do use it to access websites that can only be found using a tor onion address. It was originally used to protect news reporters and their snitches from overzealous governments.
Nothing is impossible to trace because at some point, your IP was logged. Just like VPN, and especially proxies, the connection tends to drop exposing your IP. A good idea would be to use someones open wifi, or remote to a different computer and then jump on an open wifi from there. You can use something like logmein hamatchi to create a bridge to remote into a different computer in a different location. The point is to not be at a location of origin for the IP. I only recommend these tools if you plan on getting into the seedy side of things on the Darknet.

If you want torrents, i recommend using a seedbox. You can use a money order to purchase it if you don't want your credit card traced. You log into a seedbox from a website and download the torrents and then you use a ftp client to transfer the torrent onto your computer. Once again, an ftp logs your IP which connects to the ftp server\seedbox. You can use a SSH (sftp or ftps) with a firewall to encrypt the data that you transfer from the seedbox to the ftp. Using a seedbox also increases your share ratio because of the high speeds which opens the door to private trackers.
The likelihood that these services will be targeted grows with less regular folks using conventional means of bootlegging online. This also means less people seeding on open torrents. 6 strikes may scare off the novices. -

Tor really isn't that secure.
If you run a Tor exit node, you can essentially monitor everything people passing through your node do as long as it's not encrypted.
You gotta encrypt your tor traffic along with your hard drive to be safe safe.....or just get backtrack n hop on some ? wep -

Lol, the stuff that @renagade410 provided is def difficult in that there are lots of steps, but it can be used for benefits other than bootlegging. A seedbox or direct download would at least protect you from being exposed by your ISP which is the more direct concern. The ISP's aren't going through the motions to find owners of a seedbox unless you out here uploading a thousand movies. VPN is too sketchy. It's only good to obtain direct download accounts that are blocked in the states and a proxy can't even do that.. They even trying to make it hard to obtain this things by blocking paypal and credit payments. -

I'm thinking about majoring in computer science
best decision i made in my life tbh....i was doing information systems but we like to joke that thats a major for ppl who couldnt handle computer science so i switched
i highly recommend getting your A+ and network+...computer science is one of those fields where certifications can outweigh a degree and can substitute for experience
