BTGuard and TorrentPrivacy now blocked

It looks like word has finally got out to the major ISPs that they should block these two services.

As they are the two most popular methods to download from P2P networks and avoid detection by copyright holders it makes sense that they would be candidates to be filtered out by the ISP firewalls.

As there are many VPN services that may or may not allow torrenting using their services, it does mean that they would be a far bigger target for the ISPs to block.

I wanted to know about torrentprivacy vs btguard

I have heard that both of these services are now being blocked. Can anyone suggest an alternative?

Do the MPAA and RIAA have any measures that can threaten those that download from peer-to-peer?

I have heard that there is a "Six Strikes" proposal that will send out warnings to those that are detected downloading from file-sharing sites.

I want to find a sure-fire way to avoid being prosecuted.
