Are you on this week’s hit list?
Me either. Afraid you may end up on next week’s?

Me too.

There’s really nothing you can do to keep yourself safe while still sharing files. Abstinence is the best yada yada.. There are things that can make you a tougher target, though. I’m not gonna waste time talking about not using Kazaa and other shit-ware. If you need to be told that, there’s no helping you.

If you’re a bit more savvy than that, but would like some extra protection, download Peer Guardian from Methlabs.org.

The Peer Guardian agent signs on and downloads the latest list of known RIAA-associated IP’s and protects your computer from being searched by those IP’s. This program will not keep you safe. It is not going to give you free liscense to hand out the latest Limp Bizcut album all over the internet. It will make you a slightly tougher nut to crack, and that’s a good thing.
