Absolutely no traffic on a private network — they are popular with college students — will be tracked" Let's face it. People want anonymity on the internet because of the media giants trying to force ISPs to give them private citizens information. Between that, and media giants falsely accusing people of downloading, when they haven't, it's no wonder they want anonymity. I'm not saying pirates should be able to download freely, but in the wake of increasing privacy concerns, you can hardly blame people for not wanting to be watched constantly. “I bring you back to private networks.
