Re: Risks of cardsharing

I think that even if they find your ip. address they would still have to catch you actually watching paytv.

hi dante_m1990 welcome to the site,

as shiplo quotes, the old bill would sooner catch the pusher not the (user/or guy having a booze in the pub watching nova spt/ there is a saying, catch the big fish an leave the small fry to grow.

Re: Risks of cardsharing

i think they can only detect your ip when they raid the place where the server is.

i think the men in blue have greater powers than we all think, in an investigation you always see computors exiting the scene of crime to comfirm what they already know, from there data base, top people inteligence in forces.

Hi doesn't your ip change any way if you switch off your modem over night the only way sites can recognise you is by the cookies you leave when visiting a site do a regular cookie clean and it will be harder for any to sniff you

Re: Risks of cardsharing

Although intended to be a permanent and globally unique identification, it is possible to change the MAC address on most modern hardware. Changing MAC addresses is necessary in network virtualization. It can also be used in the process of exploiting security vulnerabilities. This is called MAC spoofing.

A host cannot determine from the MAC address of another host whether that host is on the same link (network segment) as the sending host, or on a network segment bridged to that network segment.

In TCP/IP networks, the MAC address of an interface can be queried knowing the IP address using the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) for Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4) or the Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP) for IPv6. On broadcast networks, such as Ethernet, the MAC address uniquely identifies each node on that segment and allows frames to be marked for specific hosts. It thus forms the basis of most of the Link layer (OSI Layer 2) networking upon which upper layer protocols rely to produce complex, functioning networks

I still think that the risk of indivduals being caught is minimal, unless the authorities make an example of a few people, it would be more effective to shut down the servers and make the sale of equipment illegal, which I can't see happening.

Re: Risks of cardsharing

Most news you hear, is that they have catched a pay-server.
The people who are running it, may go to jail. I've heared about something of till maximum 7 years. Was it now in Belgium or ... ?

Indeed, ones they have the material and stuff, they got the list of the users as well. Specially who has paid for the pay-server. No jail will be given, but taxes you have to pay. The largest fines I've readed on the internet was 15000 Euro's.

I don't know how it is with free cardsharing servers ? As a client !
If they got a free server-network with 100.000's of users, I don't think that they gonna charge fees on all these users. That's a very big job that will take a lot of time. Because these users are like little fish. More likely they catch the owners and the material, that's a big fish to catch.

MAC address can be easily changed.

MAC address can be easily changed.

How do you do this?

Re: Risks of cardsharing

One of the risks of card-sharing is that the server owner can see your files if he so wishes.
