I liked the privacy of loggin in to AllOfMp3.com using SSL (so my password wouldn't be snooped), but now it seems even more important to be able to use SSL to connect to Mp3Sparks.com because of news that ISPs are planning to begin filtering traffic for copyrighted material that's being illegally shared. I know about the legality of Mp3Sparks, but that doesn't mean my ISP will agree.

Is there any way to find out if they're gonna add an SSL certificate so users can login, browse, and download securely?

I'm hoping to be able to access https://mp3sparks.com/ any day now

Use OpenDNS and your ISP won't be able to filter anything. PM me if you want more information on this.

Thanks for the suggestion. OpenDNS solves lots of problems, but not mine.

OpenDNS will prevent the ISP from letting me know the IP address of sites (as long as they don't block the OpenDNS DNS servers), but it doesn't encrypt the traffic (so the ISP can snoop it), and it doesn't prevent filtering either (because the traffic goes through the ISP's hardware to get to any other machines on the Internet).

SSL is simply the best way to prevent the content from being watched, intercepted, or deleted. That's why banking and (most) shopping sites use it. It's for very good privacy.

edit: also, I forgot to say that OpenNIC is way better than OpenDNS, since OpenDNS serves you advertisements.
