Fortunately, the ISP market in France has been fairly healthy since
Proxad/Free.fr successfully challenged France Telecom's monopoly.  There
are at least 5 major players competing in the mass market on razor-thin
margins, plus a number of higher-priced professional offers, plus at
least one non-profit organisation that manages to actually provide ADSL
to peoples' homes (fdn.fr).

I really don't see how an ISP could significantly increase the costs
without losing a significant part of the French market share.

Particularly when the "pay for nothing" was not part of any due
process.  But we shall see.

I really can't see how the pay for something you aren't receiving part
of this bill will stand any kind of a legal challenge. Cutting off a
persons service is one thing. Forcing a person to pay for nothing is
almost universally considered theft/extortion.

This policy model, applied globally, may put and end to Tor. Imagine if exit 
nodes in every country were shut down, yet their operators were still required 
to pay for an Internet connection for a long period of time thereafter. Each 
country having their own special blend of banned activities further complicates 
matters.

Maybe Tor could go completely hidden.

Using tor to evade the French data retention and HADOPI laws is no different
from using tor for evading the surveillance of other police states.


(Hadopi is the new law in france about P2P: if you download some music or
movie with a P2P system, the provider will send you a mail to say stop; if
you continue, they send a real letter and after, they stop your connexion

Now don't get me started about how stupid HADOPI is.

Under HADOPI, the ISP is required to monitor your Internet usage, at
their cost.  After three warnings, they are meant to disconnect you
while you continue paying your ISP bill.  I'm sure that's going to do
wonders for the ISPs' customer relations.

While HADOPI mandates massive surveillance of Internet users, the total
budget voted for enforcing it is a mere 6.7 M¤ per annum, which implies
that enforcement will be entirely from the ISPs' pockets.  I'm sure
they'll love it.

The ISPs' pockets?  I'd guess they'll all quickly raise their rates an 
amount generous enough to cover those additional costs. Heh. only 
people pay taxes and fees. :-)

Now don't get me started about how stupid HADOPI is.

Under HADOPI, the ISP is required to monitor your Internet usage, at
their cost.  After three warnings, they are meant to disconnect you
while you continue paying your ISP bill.  I'm sure that's going to do
wonders for the ISPs' customer relations.

While HADOPI mandates massive surveillance of Internet users, the total
budget voted for enforcing it is a mere 6.7 M€ per annum, which implies

You could also try i2p for torrents / emule. If you're running Deluge,
you can set peer, tracker, webseed, and DHT proxies independently, so
you could use i2p for the actual data and Tor for the tracker (that is a
supported p2p use of Tor).

You could also switch your P2P to GNUnet, which, while young, shows a
lot of promise IMO.

You'd better use some VPN service like IPREDator (info here
http://arstechnica.com/telecom/news/2009/03/the-pirate-bay-to-roll-out-secure-vpn-service.ars).
Tor is not suitable for P2P.
