Sup /comp/,
so i just moved from stanford university, where they wathed my internet activity like fuckig hawks. but now im in a new house. I dont have my own network yet, but im mooching off a neigbors wireless. can i torrent safely now?
Ive been scared to because about 6 months ago colombia pictures threatened to sue me after i tried to torrent one of their movies. How do i pick safe torrents and not get caught, is it safe to torrent yet?
if your fear outweighs your money, then buy. If your money outweighs your fear, then buy. In all other cases, steal. This hasn't changed, even after the crackdowns. They're not real, forget about them.
Protip: avoid Columbia Pictures films, and they can't send you letters. I imagine a repeat letter might be scarier.

You can onion route BitTorrent traffic. This is non-trivial, but you have to run BitTorrent in an environment with proxied socket syscalls. You can set this up by telling tsocks ( http://tsocks.sourceforge.net/ ) to talk to tor's ( http://tor.eff.org/ ) SOCKS proxy.

Here's the honest-to-fucking God truth:
If it isn't Hollywood, your odds of getting caught are nil. Even if you do get caught, you'll probably just get a cease and desist letter from a lawyer.

The FBI came to my neighbor's house, confiscated his hard drive and was given a $5000 fine (I forgot what he pirated, most likely software). Fucking bastards.
