BT and copyleft
I recently managed to read a copy of a letter that Odex sent to someone who was using BT to download and share alot of anime like Bleach, etc.
The interesting part of the letter is that the annex/appendix contained a good list of anime that he was downloading, including date and time.
That means these ppl trying to catch copyright offenders are also using BT to see who is seeding what. Maybe Odex and others are actually SEEDING ANIME THEMSELVES to see who will come. This is known as Honeypot. Put out the honey and the bees will come.
The problem with current BT is that once u connect to a BT seed ur IP is captured by the seeder. Bo beh zhao... How to circumvent?
A TCP proxy will do. How about a proxy trojan that actively forwards BT packets, and creates a live circuit of BT proxies like TOR? THAT would be fucking awesome and will be totally impossible to trace.
The other way is a community effort to self-host TCP proxy servers which other ppl can connect to to proxify their BT. If enough ppl do it, then more free TCP proxies will start appearing such that ppl can just go to a proxy list and setup free and FAST TCP proxy for use with their BT.
So how about it?

so its like a proxy for bt clients? kind of like the situation where we know where the file is but the file oni knows where to be sent out n that may not b directly to the user?
A BT proxy would proxy seed and leech IPs in such a manner that the proxy appears to be the one seeding/leeching, but it only forwards the packets.
Therefore the proxy server never holds any BT data, thus it won't end up like Napster. But the proxy would effectively proxify BT traffic by appearing as a seed and as a leech.
