Anyonw have any idea how I can legally go about stopping this madness?

[V8mate]

Need to take the web underground.

PAYG mobile for modem; dialling up to message boards with their own modems.

Roll on the revolution!

When you find a decent way of protesting this, let me know. I can then go about protesting about the 2p fuel tax hike that was just slipped in there in the midst of a recession, and the lowering of seemingly every NSL to 50mph for no fking reason.

Easy, dial up into non UK ISP, use a PAYG mobile data dongle purchased under an assumed name, use satelite based ISP, vpn into a non UK based pc encrypting all traffic to and from allowing you to browse from random physical points of pressence not covered by this rule.................... I just hope that the CIA / MI5 Al Queada / Terrorists dont know anybody with a weeeeeeeny amount of knowledge about data traffic. tomorrow I'm going to find somebody who voted for this shower and smack them round the back of their dumb thick skull!

Write letters.

Its an EU directive, not just Uk. Thing is it doesn't stop 'them' snopping on emails, as people haven't a clue about PGP , or encryption, or anything else really, so they'll always just reply the normal way and bang - 'them' have the contents of your email. I've got nothing to hide, but I just KNOW when the law changes in 10 years time about something, they come knocking at your door for something you did this year..

BBS software is still actively being developed, and hushmail, Tor, Darknet and friends are around to help everyone else. It is also very easy to set up encrypted email hosted in other countries.

It's for precisely this reason that I use an encrypted VPN tunnel for all my internet traffic.

I can choose between my own dedicated IP or random IP and can route my traffic to three countries of my choice. I'm also informed by my ISP that no user data is stored so my tracks are covered.

It was delayed from last year, but I'm sure it's no conicidence that it happened on the day of the G20 summit.

An Enigma Machine might do it - they'll never think of analogue technology.

fine until the lack of records looks suspicious

NZ.gov was introducing a law which basicaly turned the ISP's into police and enforcement for the music/video industry.

Everyone basicaly switched off their websites in protest. The law has been shelved.

[RDE]

That's very smart. Well, smarter than smashing bank windows anyway.

Use an email address supplied by a US provider. Simple as that. Make sure they support either an encrypted pop/imap/smtp connection, or that the encryption is embedded within the packet.

The next step will be web traffic, which you can use a proxy to get round. Already using one here.

Germany are fighting this in their courts.

Sweden has just told them to screw themselves, they just are not going to do it.

The UK has adopted it and fronted the cost for the ISPs to encourage them to do it. Idiots!
