Titanic anyone? Plan for all modules to fail at once.
Accually the verdict talks loosely about the tracker and more about how the torrent-files are the "tool" of the criminal in this case and since the torrent-files are saved on the harddrives of TPB (as compared to just temporarly going through, like in the router and proxy case) they are not granted immunity according to directive 2000/31/EG. The tracker is harder to categorize since it does not save any files, it just routes client connections pretty much.
The accual.torrent-files where not even submitted as evidence, only screenshots from the client. The prosecutor assumed that the only source of peers is a single tracker when it in reality can be multiple trackers, DHT, Peer Exchange, Local Peer Discovery and adding them manually.
Note that the defence haven't even started to make it's case yet, this is just from the prosecutors own mistakes.
The only thing i can think of from the top of my head are a Cache Proxy, but that pretty much requires you have flat rate on the modem pool phonenumber. Configure it to refresh the most visited pages/sites manually and/or automatically. If this is a success is very much dependant upon their surfing habits thou. For e-mail i would have run a server that popped the e-mail to it and then served it to the local client.

The news i read immediately before this was about three of Stockholm's municipal housing corporations that has started to upgrade it's 90k home and 10k business customers connections to 1 GBit/s.

Many do not realize the enormous amount of medical technology that trickles down from the military. Many do not realize the enormous amount of medical technology that would emerge from spending $500 Million on it directly.
You need to stop the monopoly on backbone bandwidth and make sure ISPs spend the money they use on throttling equipment to upgrade their backbone instead. Petition, go to the press or whatever you do over there.
Sweden: 100mbit/s down, 10mbit/s up for $44/month, $0 initial cost. Not a single nordic ISP on Azureus wiki over ISPs that throttle BT traffic. In 2005, 9% of the swedish households had an ethernet LAN (TP or fiber) connection (2004 the number was 6% so it's growing fast). Myself i have a fiber into my house with an 100mbit/s converter attached to it. I live in the north of Sweden, 30km from the nearest city, "in the middle of nowhere".

I want a tax on every refrigerator that is sold since i can't sell ice anymore...
If by "them" you mean anti-piracy, no, they already got their "permit" from the IPRED-law.

I bet quite a few of us are going to fix the change(s) and run it many times before the botnet owners could get a patch out.
Don't they need to finish the game first?

How about removing the craplets that is built-in with Vista first before going after OEMs?
Redundancy can solve lasers failing if it even is a problem. You're just speculating there.
