I'm pretty much aware about such contracts, which I had once signed myself. However, Sgt. posted his comment in a way like "they're about to bring you <gnutella> down, one way or the other".......
If his post was meant to be helpful (in a preventing way), he would be able to find means and ways to hint into the right direction without exposing himself to the public, or his former employer.
But not doing so, or excusing himself not to do so, leaves me with 2 alternatives to think.........the first one has been implied by LOTR and the second one would be to assume that he wants to spread (intentionally) a certain kind of unease around the Gnutella network......

@Sgt.
Don't take my opinion as an offense,......rather think about how your comments are understood from people who might not be that deep into the matter as you stated to be (or were).
I don't even want to know what's going on behind certain doors in regard to P2P, my life is already exciting enough; but it will come down to how you see the approaches of certain groups (of which you say you have knowledge of), and to the conclusion you draw from this knowledge (in an ethical way).
And let me tell you, being a German, I have learned not to accept every and all because of laws and rules.........(which is actually your excuse,....)

Just my 5-cent-worth

Hi foolofthehill
No offence taken just looked back and seen what I had written

I did not mean to Imply that this forum was under attack, what I was supposed to have said, the record companies and Film companies are going after the people that use the P2P networks

U download a certain song or a film, you go to play this song or film

Ur computer will slow down for about 10-20 sec while certain files are being written in the background because of the code written into the song or the film

The first file that will be written has ORKL in it's title, (that's not it's full name)look for the file on your hard drive

the computer will then be checked for any P2P programs and the like

the program written to your computer, will then try and access the internet

this information will then be transmitted to the company I used to work for

that way they get an Idea of what networks they can flood with fakes

also sent at the time is the Ip address of your computer

That way they can tell who you are

I think you also asked which firewall I use on my gaurd computer that accesses the internet, I use Zone Alarm Security Suit, where all the programs have to ask for access to the internet (Don't know why you were intersted in that)

Sgt

You mean in the other thread where you had problems to access the forum...?
Well, that was just a thought that port 80 or HTTP might have been listed into the access block list, at a time I had by myself the same problem with other forums......; I then added whatever possible and connected to those forums to my exception list, but didn't change anything....

Two month long no problem at all, and since yesterday I have to use F5 to get access to the Vietnamese Forum I'm in.....

Thanks anyway for giving some more clearance about your comment; appreciate it....
