They track your IP address also, so you'll need to use something like
Tor to remain more anonymous. Even Tor can be tracked with some
effort. I have cable which is supposed to be dynamic IP, but AFAIK
they rarely if ever change my IP. If I started hosting they'd probably
pop my IP just to make it more difficult for me, after all, they're
not a bi-directional "information super highway," they're one-way
"intravenous ads for fun & profit".
As in all things, there is a cost to be paid to remain anonymous, in
this case Tor results in a noticeable increase in latency before
webpages load, the cost of slicing & dicing all those packets across
all those anonymous Tor nodes.
Tor on a PPC Mac may be difficult to setup now. AFAIK you use Vidalia
for PPC, but finding a browser may be harder, I suspect you'll need
TenFourFox or something with plugins enabled and a Tor plugin? The
current "Tor Browser Bundle" required OS X 10.6+ and Intel, so getting
Tor working on PPC may be a bit of a challenge now, but I'm sure it
can be done. Just search Tor PPC or Vidalia PPC.
Here are current PPC versions of Vidalia to get you started:
