You are very much not in the clear if you block like this. That's just delusional.

Copyright monitoring firms have many endpoints that look like consumer ADSL/cable... because they are consumer connections.




Yes, but consumer ADSL/cable..are still..within the USA IP Address list block.

By blocking the entire continent, if you are paranoid, you won't be on that list.

I doubt they will engineer much of a solution for non-local markets e.g. UK instance catching USA Ip address, though in the end it is not that hard to move that metadata around.


They have many non-American endpoints, and local front companies, and they collaborate and pool data. They definitely had endpoints on a local ISP here, it was in the detail of some of the submissions that the IP they used was from the ISP.
