Just tick the encrypt box on the uploading option surely?

^^ I always used the encryption on utorrent. Even using Peer Guardian a lot.

Peer Guardian is rubbish anyway. They have to connect before it blocks, so they already get the evidence before the connection has been blocked!
Err, last time I checked that's not the case. It blocks the I.P so the 'hand shake' cannot be completed. All they will have is your I.P address but won't be able to connect to you and prove that you are uploading.

torrents, lol
Read the paper and see what they did, to circumvent that all you have to do is connect to the address in the swarm, if you get a connection, the peer is a member.
For those talking about encryption in bittorrent, that's only for the data transfer so ISPs and other people watching your line can't read it, it does nothing to stop the methods used to find people sharing by connecting to swarms.
Like I said being a civil suit they don't need as much proof and would probably win most of these, simple solution is don't download copyrighted stuff.

It is if you're using Bittorrent and upload simultaneously.downloading data isn't illegal.

Is breaking copyright law crinimal or just civil?
If you took them to court they would be shot down in flames. The letter they are sending out is illegal for a start, you can't demand money from someone you suspect has commited a crime in exchange for not taking them to court. That is extortion. As said in the articles they only go after people when they will win the case by default because they would be crushed in court against any defense whatsoever.
They also have zero court worthy evidence that you did it. Unsecured wireless, viruses, dynamic IP adresses, etc.

You can choose not to upload when when downloading torrents though, right?
Excuse my ignorance on the subject.

You can choose not to use torrents and use other alternatives like usenet.

Nope, I just don't think he wants to be lectured by a self-righteous member of an internet forum.
