RIAA who?

As a follow up to “Don’t let daddy RIAA catch you downloading”:

PeerGuardian is a free program that hides your file sharing from known RIAA informants.
You have a firewall to keep out hackers, so why not have a firewall to keep out the RIAA? If you’re running Windows, PeerGuardian does just that.

Keep RIAA informants off your case

Each time you launch PeerGuardian, it downloads the latest list of known RIAA informants and blocks them from connecting to your computer. The list contains hundreds of known IP-address ranges the RIAA has used to catch file swappers.

Does PeerGuardian offer 100 percent protection? No. If an unknown RIAA informant sneaks through, you’re still busted.

Remember, the best way to not get caught is to not share pirated files. Support the musicians or movies you love and pick up a CD or DVD. Then share it. (Just kidding.)
