Safer Bit Torrents

It seems that there could be an easy way to elude the various rules and regulations that are being thought up by the copyright organisations and some governments too. There is even word that anyone found to be downloading pirated or other copyrighted material could fine that their internet connection is terminated.

With these thoughts in mind many people are fearful the consequences of their actions and waiting for the dreaded knock on the door. But there could be a way that would make the task of tracking down the user of a certain IP address even more difficult that it is now.

BT Guard will reroute all Bit Torrents through their servers, this will mean that any organisation or authority trying to track down the IP addresses of file sharers would see the IP address of BT Guard rather than the file sharer.
