National 'Copyright Alert System' To Go Live On Internet
Net providers begin warning of illegal downloads
ANNE FLAHERTY, Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — Internet users who illegally share music, movies or television shows online could soon receive warning notices from the nation's five major Internet service providers.
The Copyright Alert System, organized by the recording and film industry, is being activated this week to target consumers using peer-to-peer software.
Under the new system, complaints will prompt an Internet service provider — such as Verizon or AT&T — to notify a customer whose Internet address has been detected sharing files illegally. A person will be given up to six opportunities to stop before the Internet provider will take more drastic steps, such as temporarily slowing their connection, or redirecting Internet traffic until they acknowledge they received a notice or review educational materials about copyright law.
Consumers who maintain they have been wrongly accused would be forced to pay $35 to appeal the decision. The fee would be reimbursed if they prevail.
Proponents say the focus is on deterring the average consumer rather than chronic violators. The director of the organization behind the system, Jill Lesser of the Center for Copyright Infringement, said in a blog post Monday that the program is "meant to educate rather than punish, and direct (users) to legal alternatives."

Did I mention vpnbook.com is free? and that it works well for torrents? < Problem solved
It uses 128b AES encryption through openVPN, 100% of data is encrypted and you can use it to route ALL your traffic through not just torrents.

what you describe is a method to block traffic shaping alone not the strikes system(ur on public ip so it dont matter for the moment until they get strikes and try to block BT). I would also recommend changing listening port to above 50000 and rotate it often. Also it doesn't encrypt the data only the protocol so if they did do deep packet inspection (very unlikely only feds looking for real crime do this or hackers) they would see everything.

I am soon going to be buying VPN service in the future. I have not downloaded anything except freeware and shareware, and mp3 music from Amazon.com for .99 cents.
