May seem slow but in the end you'd have mostly accurate data regarding what was safe or not. Cherrio!

It's against all kinds of privacy laws for Internet Companies to release your private info based on just an IP address. Now mind you, I live in Canada who is in the middle of a possible DMCA crackdown of our own. But even with the crackdown, if Internet companies release personal info requested from an IP address, their claims hold no water as it's direct violation of privacy acts. miguel, IP’s are useless without the co-operation of the internet companies who provide you your service.

PG2 Vista release is NOT ready for prime time. Most of the time it does NOT actually block anything. Check the running list of blocked IPs. If there's nothing there... shut it down.

What you need is a USB key firewall, like the yoggie Pico. PG may stop a company from gaining info once they already have your IP, BUT THEY ALREADY HAVE IT, they don't need anything else...

I have serious doubts. These merely block a published list of IP addresses. It wouldn't be difficult at all to get a new IP address. The whole blocking thing seems pretty dubious to me. On the other hand, with Bittorrent, in order for the MPAA or RIAA to actually get your IP address, they must download (and share) their own file. If they are sharing their own file, isn't that the same thing as entrapment? How real is the protection offered by SafePeer, Peerguardian or similar programs? I have serious doubts.
