Well, I've been avoiding surfing through a proxy, but this today was the last straw for me. Anonymous proxy surfing time. Nobody else has any business knowing what youtube videos I watch. At present I'm using dtunnel.com because 4chan works through there. Anyone have any other suggestions?

Honestly, can I suggest you don't? Proxies are always short of bandwidth at the best of times. The last thing we want is for everyone to start using them to watch stuff off YouTube.

I don't go to Youtube that much (largely because I've got cable and a DVR), mostly using the proxy for everywhere else.

The issue for me is the precedent that this ruling sets. If, based on belief of [illegal activity type], a judge can order [website] to surrender all their logs, all the ip addresses and so forth, they can do that for any website. Not just youtube but anywhere they think they might have a reason. I'm not entirely comfortable with it, so, proxy.

It seems to me that a proxy wouldn't really save you from the damage the log dump does, but at the same time, it's only damaging in the way that fingerprinting is. i.e., it really sucks that they're doing it, but there's so many people doing whatever the fuck they want on youtube that they're not going to start arresting users for whatever "crimes" they're committing, so the trouble is that your IP (which you already went to youtube with) is already in a database just waiting to show up in a Super Deluxe Crimeputer scan should you happen to do anything more targetable.
