You need a lawyer, get one :D
Maybe you can use Hotline, there the downloader has to agree
a 'license' before he can download. Then you can be sure that
you dont brake the law.

An example:
By entering you promise dont to download anything

Yes, it's not very secure, but it's simple to implement, or people may configure their firewalls to block these IPs.

I use both a Gnutella client (Shareaza) and Kazaa Lite K++, KLK++ has the feature you mentioned above. But, when I shut down KLK++ to run Shareaza, I start up PeerGuardian, to do exactly what you say above. You can download it from following the following URL:

I am surprised no one suggested this program before me.

I'm not. Actually I hoped nobody would suggest it because it doesn't work. BayTSP et al could easily be using proxies or a simple dynamic IP they rented from AOL to mask their identity.

PeerGuardian will NOT protect you. You may feel secure but you really aren't.

Not that it really matters anyway, since I am in Canada and cannot get subpenoa (sp?) from the various **AA, we don't have a lot of the stupid laws that they have in the US, although CIRA is trying...and at one point they -- Canadian government -- wanted to make their own version of the DMCA, there was a big outcry about that!!!

But, I will still use PG for other stuff as well, proxies or no proxies....
