How to block the RIAA and MPAA from accessing your site - UPDATE: And SpamBots, too!Quoted from the site: "Effective immediately, the RIAA and MPAA will need to find another way to get to Techfocus. In response to their legal targeting of individual file-swappers, access from their known networks to this site has now been blocked. While it may still be possible for them to access Techfocus via address ranges which we're not aware of, they'll otherwise have to use non-RIAA and non-MPAA networks to view the site."They state their reasons for doing it, and they're all very valid reasons -- which is why I downloaded the .htaccess file from the site and uploaded it on my server as well. While I have nothing to hide from either of those organizations (in fact, I've been very critical of the tactics they use), I'm not very fond of them, either, hence the block. UPDATE: Neil has posted his .htaccess file, and it's much more extensive, blocking spam bots and other lunatics as well. I've updated my .htaccess file as well. UPDATE AGAIN: For some reason, I get an internal server error when I have all those items in there. Why, I don't know, but I'll look in to it. Meanwhile, I'll just have to let the spambots and evil Hollywood folks in. Posted by Jake on 07/20/03 @ 06:36 PM

My .htaccess file is approaching 4KB now, what with all these blocked IPs and spam robots! :) Alan Little said on 07/21/03 @ 05:14 AM: Anyone know how to find the IPs to block SCO systems? :) Neil T. said on 07/22/03 @ 01:50 AM: If it doesn't work, try deleting everything apart from a few lines, and then gradually adding everything back. That'll show the cuplrit. The first section (the RIAA blocking) should be fine, it's the spambot bit that may cause you problems. one crazy guy about his MP3s said on 09/10/03 @ 01:57 AM: how do i add all the RIAA and other ip address to norton firewall or can i not do this >? Jake Ortman said on 09/10/03 @ 11:07 AM: Don't know what to tell ya, bud. I've never used Norton Firewall, but I'm sure there is a way to do it. Just stop stealing -- the gov't hates competition ;) ConcreteMonkey said on 11/25/04 @ 03:07 PM: Is it possible to transfer the blocklist from a program like PeerGuardian into the .htaccess file, thus having a similar level of protection to a website as you would your PC? MAJ said on 12/08/04 @ 11:34 AM: Use Sygate personal Firewall it's free from their website or webattack.com has many useful FREE tools. Sygate allows you to enter in long lists of blocked IP's, you just have to put in the ranges, it can be time consuming. diehard_3eb_freak@juno.com Post a comment |
