Comments on news posted 2013-01-11 12:27:13: With the entertainment industry's oft-delayed "six strikes" anti-piracy plan finally very close to launch, some ISPs have been willing to talk a little about the new steps they'll be taking to thwart pirates on their networks. ..

Is this some kind of joke?

Verizon could care less about piracy, but they would use any excuse not to upgrade their network. And how in the hell are they going to find these so called pirates?. Next thing you know, when you go over a certain usage that they deemed is acceptable, you are going to be branded a "pirate".Every time I think this country can't sink any lower, it does.

Verizon (or any other MSO) doesnt care about piracy when it erodes their TV revenues? Wake up.

Torrents are for the uneducated huddled masses. Full-speed Usenet is infinitely superior, period.

Could be worse. Could be 3 strikes and you are out like Mediacom. For life.

Shouldn't share your connection. It is against the terms anyway.

Well, since after the 6th strike, they do absolutely nothing, cutting it to 3 strikes would actually be better for the repeat offender accused.

In that sense, yes. Although Mediacom cuts you off entirely and blacklists your social security number so you can never subscribe again.

BTGuard. It's not free but considering the benefit it pays for itself after the first few torrents.

I love it.

Punished by Verizon?

I need to pay Verizon $60 per month to be punished by them? Screw that.

Really? Just curious, but how much less?

Contract Change?

I don't pirate stuff, but does anyone know if this will make Verizon change their contract terms with customers (as in customers having to re-commit or reject the contract changes)?

LOL, I always correct my wife on that, it should be stated as " COULDNT care less" , but peoples lips are lazy.

Who Decides?

So does Verizon detects who's doing the pirating or does the RIAA/MPAA notify Verizon?

This is gonna blow up on their face...

Sell people high speed Internet, then send them back to 90's speeds. Sounds like a fool proof plan to me...
