kudos:1 | Suspected = guilty no matter what a suspected pirate may be allowed to visit only the top 200 Web sites until they stop illegal file sharing. Totally unfair until you've got hard proof of me "pirating" I'm a paying customer and the ISP shouldn't be able to tell me what I can and can't visit because they suspect me of being a pirate.

Their TOS already gives them that right.
It was inevitable that the ISPs got onboard with discouraging copyright infringement. They are the ones in the best position to be enforcement cops. The MPAA & RIAA are helping cover the costs. And the White House is backing the agreement. It isn't three strikes, but ISPs will take actions against violators they feel is appropriate.

| A Business opportunity I see a real business opportunity here for the VPN providers. Especially those really good ones in Canada like Carat Networks. Aside from defeating DPI, NXDomain hijacking, and port blocking, they are fast, reliable, cheap, and out of reach of US court issued subpoenas.

| Sad but predictable outcome While the MPAA/RIAA overreaches at times, they're not going to give up on chasing the bad apples. And as usual, those bad apples spoil the bunch. We'll all pay more because of this.
I don't understand the last point about targeting suspected users as being unreliable. ISP's know exactly what IP is assigned to whom, and 'accidentally' having your connection used/compromised by a guilty third party is no longer a defense. I know mistakes get made, just not at the level you seem to project. |

| Good for the RIAA/MPAA Good for you guys in getting what you want! I don't care anyway, your content is worthless to me. I won't download your stuff illegally, but I won't buy it either.
And every single day less and less people want your content. Enjoy protecting those copyrights on a continually worthless product! |

Open Wi-Fi Is Not a Crime! And no, your ISP does not have a right to snoop (DPI) on your private communications without a warrant. Anyone wanting some measure of privacy, and a semblance of network neutrality, only needs to use an off-shore VPN.
The combination of ISP interference in Internet access, the outrageous MAFFIA in league with U.S. courts engaging in more and more extortion schemes, and ICE running around, illegally taking-down reams of websites like a bull in a China closest, has already started an unfortunate exodus. I have already moved all of my web and mail servers out of the country. It's a sad day, when one has to leave America to be free.

I don't care either Just watched James May's Toy Story which aired on the BBC last week. What a great show. imagine running an 30 year old HO scale train set ten miles on an old railroad bed between two communities. Add to this other modern HO scale model trains including one powered by a tiny fuel sell, great show. This is what I want being about to watch any TV show I want from anywhere in the World. All of the really interesting documentary shows we will never see in this country for one reason or another.

New Orleans, LA | How they determine who is guilty and such will be quite interesting as the current way is IMO is a bit of a joke reliability wise.
The amount of stories we will hear about people doing nothing and getting slammed will be humorous and sad at the same time.
I also suspect lawsuits will begin flying and hopefully someone can pin down the RIAA/MPAA |

Parates paying for VPN's is oxymoronic. Anyone wanting free and unfettered Internet access, not just "pirates".
Besides, for about $10.00/Mo (far less than a full cable subscription) you can cut the cable cord and get all the TV and movies you want free, and without advertisements. Even pirates can see that the economics here make sense. They are not stupid, it's the MAFFIA and the ISPs who are shooting themselves in the foot, and a government which needs to create jobs, is going to drive a portion of the industry out of the country. Who are the morons here?
The rent I used to pay a U.S. collocation facility is now going to Canada. Not so I can pirate, but so that I, and my customers, can be free from the ever increasing over-reaching, snooping, and control of the corporate-controlled greed machine we have created here in this country.
I used to hate the canard "If you don't like it leave". But today, in the virtual and International world of the Internet, you can do exactly that, and what's being implemented, mainly by the entertainment industry, is making doing just that economical. All this for what? To prop up the out-dated business model of an industry which refuses to evolve with the times?

We all pay for things, the question is the degree and for what exactly. As long as there are laws there will be people not following them. The more ridiculous and intrusive the laws become the greater the number of those people is going to be. |

| Premptive capping ISPs of course jump at the chance to offer little or no service for the same high monthly fee. Wonder if they will penalize any torrenting, infringing or not, since all data transfer is theft from their prospective. |
