 Attention Downloaders, Uploaders, and Other web based users
As you may have already Known the Government is beginning to enact Much Harsher and stern consequences for Copyright Infringement. But Now the RIAA and MPAA organizatiosn (private companies) Have reached an agreement with several ISp's including Comcast and Verizon. They will Now search The users history and data and will Send Emails to customers about copyright laws. After a few times The ISP will throttle your bandwidth Or even cut your internet completely off until you call them and explain yourself. WTF http://www.maximumpc.com/article/news/i ... iaa_and_co

 Re: Attention Downloaders, Uploaders, and Other web based us
This in my honest opinion is BS. This is so invasive. Not only that, they can easily accidentally label somebody for something they didn't do thanks to wireless computing. What a stupid idea. Not the way to deal with piracy.

 Re: Attention Downloaders, Uploaders, and Other web based us
I like this article better: http://gizmodo.com/5818989/th-tougher-i ... that-toughmainly because it's shorter and well...makes a better point Quote: The goal, according to the likes of Time Warner Cable, AT&T, Comcast, etc., is to "educate" rather than "punish," an attitude that comes from straight from the goodness of their wallets. Because if you're actually reprimanded for all those downloads, they'll lose you as a customer. And they just. Won't. Let. That. Happen.

 Re: Attention Downloaders, Uploaders, and Other web based us
All this will do is make sharing go even further underground. I see a lot more encrypted zip/rars in the future. Hopefully the ISP's will operate with a presumption of innocence where all content is assumed legal until proven otherwise.

 Re: Attention Downloaders, Uploaders, and Other web based us
- Tin Foil Tribune -
All cell phones are built with tracking and record-while-off functions. All computers are built with data over power line components which allow snooping just so long as your computer is plugged in (unless it's not receiving power). Since the early 1990's starting with Project Echelon which was a joint effort of multiple governments and clandestine organizations, (and continuing with Predators and several other programs), every single piece of electronic communication that is transmitted gets filed and organized for use in 'connecting the dots' with everyone and every thing that goes on for which there is some sort of interest. All of this information gets collated and categorized at places called "Fusion Centers" which are considered private but are actually run by the shadow government of security agencies, banking interests and various members of high-level organizations across the political and military-industrial spectrum.
Facebook.
Poop. But thanks for sharing.
