How are you tracked? Laws?

Would an ip blocker or false ip creator stop people from tracking you on the net if you frequent sites that have streaming content?

And does anyone know the law on these sites? I know sharing content is illegal, but what about watching these shows streaming? Anyone know where the current legal standards are these days?

And how exactly do they track you on the net?

 

I am certainly not an authority on this but it is easy enough to track an IP address but using a proxy will hide it from the average seeker although i have no doubt that government agencies can find it even with a proxy.

I don't know that anyone is that interested in anything you stream. I've never heard of anyone being sued for watching a stream of a foreign show.

I think if you are really worried then for peace of mind adding another $10 service (VPN) to your monthly internet bill might be relatively cheap insurance. Despite the name this service gets very good reviews. It might be worth a one month trial to see if it works the way you want. They keep no records of your activity so if anyone wanted access to their records their are none to be found.

You are paying for anonymity and privacy.

 

The only way to track you is by your IP as it points to your ISP and your ISP
should know who you are. As plodr says, you can't hide from your ISP, however
you can hide the sites you visit even from your ISP (and from anybody else).
You will need a third party - a VPN service, just search for "vpn server" or try
the one I was referred to When you connect to their server you will get their IP - so your own IP will not
be traceable any more. More important you will connect through a secure tunnel -
your ISP will not see anything besides the service IP.
