They don't check every time.. but when they do you will be searching out a proxy. And didn't the occasional IP checking start 3mo. back?
I find this annoying.. Particularly as I'm living in Canada.. the Canada store won't accept US credit/debit cards even with Canadian addresses.. and the US store does not like my IP address..
(and I'd rather *NOT* need to buy gift cards at a physical store to quickly download online music/video)
I wonder if there is a modern equivalent to Logo. In elementary school they had us making the turtle draw complex scenes, eventually involving functions and loops.
Sometime after that my dad upgraded to a old world perform power mac. (60MHz, 512MB disk space) and installed a C compiler [probably so he could poke it at some point, not that he ever did]) and gave me a lesson or two in C, before I started coding/learning on my own.
A little before the LOGO writer he tried to show me basic.. but at that point I had little interest.. or really didn't like the line numbers
The real trick is the logic mindset and desire to change the logic. Then you can learn any language once you figure out some of the syntax. However very few people think this way even in the field I find.
Last time I checked you *ARE* allowed to use the image of money and stamps (in the US) so long as it is obvious that the copy is not legal tender/postage. Please do note there are precise rules as to what is considered non-obvious).
Now if you try to use these as currency however.. don't expect it to go over well
My business [assuming VPN user] required 1 or 2 TCP connections (saturated)
yours 20-49 TCP Connections [assuming bittorent user with multiple torrents going]
you get 10-20x my bandwidth as TCP attempts to balance its self PER connection
Now there is one solution of ensuring all of your traffic is load balanced as from one person.. but this needs to be done outside of the scope of TCP/IP. And I can only hope companies are thinking how to do this reasonable.
From my apartment (Rogers cable internet) to my Linode virtual dedicated host:
Download 20MB of zeros over scp: 409.6KB/s
Download 20MB of zeros over http: 423.33KB/s
The upload [encrypted] was at 46.9KB/s (which given the other information going upstream sounds like the 768kbit upload cap.)
So either this is something those who are paying for the 100/GB transfer/mo (rather than the default 60 of the cheaper plans) are likely immune to.
Or this is untrue.
However one interesting potential is if they are splitting traffic into classes, Everyone on that part of the network may have saturated the encrypted pool... The problem with bittorrent and similar protocols is when mis-configured to make too many connections they don't play nice with other TCP connections on the same link. (with or without encryption)

only half correct... it downloads the non-DRM file via HTTPS, then scrambles and encrypts some of the file using your local keys.
This means your packet sniffer only provided you an ssl stream.. Which is to my knowledge much harder to find aac data from then the m4p file..

Well just did a small test:
