Just used KickAss to download The Walking Dead, now it's gone. Apparently complying with DMCA takedowns doesn't help these sites at all.

Just found out they're back already at kickass.to

That is good. Yeah you have to be very quick on there to get the Torrent. Can’t just hang on

I use a browser extension VPN which worked against me recently when a social networking site I'm a member of blocked my log in. The security team found it alarming that I'd logged in and out of Australia and Hong Kong within a matter of hours. I guess they were just doing their job, which is reassuring Smile

Well I Guess some sites are not massive fans of this.

It’s more for people that go on Torrent and Warez Sites

I guess using the VPN excuse was better than revealing your new super powers to them. Razz Wink

Beating the piracy crackdown looks as simple as declaring yourself a home business, without any paperwork.

The clock is ticking on Australia's new three-strikes piracy crackdown, with public submissions on the draft code closing on March 23. While it leaves many unanswered questions, the code makes it very clear that it only applies to fixed-line residential customers, not to mobile internet connections or business internet users.

The decision to exempt businesses from the code is perhaps a practical one to avoid the backlash from companies inundated with warnings due to the behaviour of employees and customers. Just cracking down on residential pirates would still be a huge win for the copyright police, after which they might turn their attention to businesses.

The current major loophole for business internet users bothers the backers of Dallas Buyers Club, who are currently dragging Australian ISP iiNet through the courts over the behaviour of its customers. Today the case was adjourned, with a verdict expected in three weeks, but before that the draft code was cited in court. While iiNet insisted that Australians ISPs would take the code seriously, lawyers for Dallas Buyers Club underplayed its importance – specifically pointing to the exemption for businesses.

Do you have link? Does it effect the Torrent Speeds Much?

https://www.hidemyass.com/ is the link, DTM, proxies are good at hiding your IP. You can use them to get around sites that are blocked rather easily. Unless they have blocked the proxy you are using.

It shouldn't affect anything since you are still using your own download speed, you are just hiding your IP to grab the torrent basically.

A VPN is better than a Proxy for torrenting. A proxy just hides your IP while web surfing, but a VPN encrypts the data and hides pretty much everything you're doing from Government and from ISPs (therefore no letters about downloads).
