Special/Investigative Report
1.MUTE - Truly Anonymous File-Sharing?
So how does this keep your identity sealed? It uses methods of encryption to hide your host. Instead of seeing your IP address (ie. 123.45.678.9) you'll see a "virtual address", something like this: HA3D3DSKXME3654DSAD35DSD. It's almost impossible to decypher your real hostname. The only people in the MUTE network that see your actual IP address are those "seed nodes" that we talked about earlier. These seed nodes are the only ones making a direct connection to you, therefore all searches and file transfers come from those seed nodes. They have to know your IP address to be able to connect to you and send you information. However, these seed nodes do not know your virtual address. Therefore there is no way for anyone to connect your IP address to your virtual address on MUTE. There is on one exception however; that is if every seed node you connect to is owned by them, however this is a very unlikely scenario as the seed nodes you connect to are chosen in a pseudo-randomized way

ISPs not liable for royalties

According to the article:

"In the US, organizations like the RIAA are using provisions in the DMCA to force ISP's to give them the names of people the RIAA believes are illegally 'pirating' music. This is a daunting task, and they tend to get it wrong, and end up suing people who did not download music. The RIAA usually wins, because the lawsuits are civil, rather than criminal, and the standards for proof are much more lax. People don't have the money to defend themselves against a Lawyer Army, even if they are innocent."
