I was just looking around on different websites for what happened to programs like PeerBlock
Seems like they’re not really too helpful to protect yourself against snitches. But they are helpful for blocking the IP-ranges of advertising companies…

Yeah these have basically been ineffective for P2P such as torrenting for many years. The media companies can just outsource their Anti-Sharing campaigns to third parties and it is fairly trivial for them to do discovery from non-obvious or even residential IPs. They just have to open a given torrent long enough to see who is in swarm and start sending nastygrams to those ISPs.
The best way to protect yourself is seedbox/VPS in a jurisdiction with no filesharing enforcement, or at a minimum join a reputable private tracker, because then all participants are vetted and there will never be a snitch in swarm.
