Cash.

Hardly.

Tor. Slow not pointless.

Then why is there so much chlamydia?

I downloaded the java application and filled out the form and installed the
software but it never created an account nor did it send any confirmation
to my yahoo account.
Does the "your-freedom" proxy registration work for anyone else with a
yahoo account?

Yep. Encryption offers almost no privacy protection.

The benefits aren't in protection, so much, as circumventing traffic
shaping. An ISP can set up rules that identify BT traffic, and selectively
slow them to the point where BT isn't practical anymore. If the traffic is
encrypted before it leaves my machine, and not decrypted until it reaches
yours, then intermediate ISPs won't be able to identify it as BT traffic,
and won't throttle it.

Which, of course, is even more illegal than a bit of copyright
infringement. And people *HAVE* been prosecuted for data tresspass after
having been caught using other people's wireless.

The MAC address of the network card is as ephemeral as the wind .....

If you have the same mac address on more than one device on a local
network then the **** hits the fan just as does using the same IP
address on more than one device. This sort of thing confuses networks
into not working or barely working. Just because you can do something
does not make it practical, workable or usefull. The only place that I
have seen MAC address cloning usefull is on the public side of a
router/firewall on a DSL connection like Telus in Canada, maybe others
else where as well. This is usefull when adding a firewall/router at a
later date than the dsl was installed.

MAC address cloning is also useful when you have two computers sharing the
same hotel wired or wireless Internet connection. Most, if not all, hotel
Internet connections base themselves on the MAC address.
So, you pick an easy to remember MAC address such as DEADBEEFCAFE and both
your computers work fine on the same connection. Only one at a time of
course.
You're more likely to win the lottery than to have two MAC addresses of the
same number on the same ISP at the same time given the nearly infinite
addresses you can come up with.
