First Impressions


1 Was the article interesting? Yes
I found that it was an informative article about the soon to be released IPREADTOR website for less detectable P2P torrents

2 Was the article easy to read? Yes
I found this article easy to read as it was straight forward to read with no fancy terms

3 Did the article provide the information you expected? No
I was surprised that it is so easy to detect you IP address etc. on insecure network

Personal Response: I found this article to be very informative of the soon to be released IPREDATOR

One relevant detail from the text: ThePirateBay.Org has been subject to intense scrutiny starting with a raid in May 2007 during which Swedish police confiscated 180 servers.

Another relevant detail: VPN services provided some anonymity to downloaders by encrypting downloaded data and masking their IP addresses, most VPN providers have historically kept user logs, which were often eventually surrendered to law enforcement agencies.
