sbiddle: I don't understand what you're saying. If you're believe that some ISP's don't pass on s92 infringement notices then you're mistaken.

I'm asking if choice of ISP would change the likelihood of a S92 infringement notice being generated in the first place.

One should presume, then, if one hasn't received any infringement notices on their current ISP, changing to another ISP will not increase the likelihood of such notice being sent.


The odds of receiving a notice are identical no matter what ISP you use.

ISP's don't snoop your traffic and report you - copyright holders (for example) monitor torrent sites and trackers, identify your IP/ISP and then send the s92 notice your your ISP who then pass this on to you.



I would say you would be much safer on an ISP like slingshot with a massive local torrent cache and infrastructure that will close peer connections to direct you to the cache, as the chances of an enforcement organization connecting into you successfully will be substantially reduced.

I dont get why all the ISPs are being so quiet about number of notices issued etc. Surely a fewer notices per gig per user would be an attraction to an ISP over one with a greater number?

Interesting point, thanks.

If there's any moderators around, if this could be moved to the Orcon forum that'd be helpful.
