I hope alot of people they snoop on sues the heck out of them. That's invasion of privacy.

I think that piracy excuse is a scam! They probably want to offer a high priced premium service to make you pay for your privacy!
Jerks!!

Interesting! Why? The Post Office isn't allowed to "snoop" our mail!!! The private sector has too much liberty with our privacy....myabe we should make them a "branch" of our Federal Government!!!

Write or call your Senator and Repesentative about this BS! I did!! Don't just give it "lip-servic"!

The corporations of the 21st century put the NAZI Gestopo to shame when it comes to domestic spying. Wake up and challenge them.

Yes but isn't JanusVM a virtual machine? If I understand this correctly, you are stuck inside of this machine and cannot download ANYTHING to your desktop. Nor can you download more than a couple of MB inside the machine.

i already run a combo package called vidalia, which includes privoxy and tor , i don't understand how running a virt mach can improve on net anominity?
TO answer last question , i believe you can save to a hard drive while running on a virt. mach.
THE PROBLEM IS HIS VM SOFTWARE ISN"T found when you visit the site,

Being an AT & T broadband customer, to say that I'm somewhat comcerned with their planned "snooping" is an understatment. Is downloading/sharing copyright material illegal, who knows, but I think snooping on isp subscribers is at the least an invasion of one's privacy.
I can only hope our government sees that these types of snooping tactics are an invasion of privacy and take measures to outlaw such tactics.

Concerning the difference between JanusVM and the Vidalia, Privoxy, Tor bundle,... with JanusVM, you can use javascript and java and flash and all of that without having to worrry about revealing your true IP. But if you allow scripts in firefox with the vidalia bundle, your true IP can be revealed......if the website knows what they are doing and decides to do it. Here is a proof of concept.

Also, with a virtual machine, as I understand it anyway, your operating system is always safe no longer what happens within the VM. And I guess it is almost impossible to hack the VM. But as far as Java and scrpits etc...I personally use XeroBank VPN and will never have to worry about scripts or the painfully slow speed of Tor.
