are there any addons to block company ip addresses like paramount and others who want to sue me for utorrent? i had some addons with azuereus that did this but 4chan said utorrent was better.
all help very appreciated.

Utorrent is still safe as at version 1.600
The reason for all the crap about it is that it's closed source and has now been sold as a commercial item. However, to date no new version has yet been released. If you're concerned, stick to version 1.6 when the newer version eventually comes out, or you could stop running around like a headless chicken and actually check if the new version does anything it shouldn't.
As far as blocking is concerned, Peerguardian 2 is very useful for P2P - it blocks dodgy (i.e. Sony, MPAA etc) IP addresses from connecting to you in a torrent, so there's no data exchange between you. Just looking at my Peerguardian log for the last day, Sony and Media Works show up in my block list on a number of occasions. It's not 100% foolproof as it's only good as long as the blocklist is updated, bu at the moment it's updated pretty frequently.
