Comments on news posted 2008-06-06 17:10:26: As an insider recently told me, one of several ways Comcast is considering tackling excessive consumption (aside from throttling "hogs" and 250GB caps) is to boot users who get more than four DMCA warning letters in a twelve-month period. ..

 Stop

Please stop giving the RIAA and MPAA ideas.

I don't need them sending DMCA notices because my printer printed a word from one of their client songs

Actually that pdf is a good read. Really scary how flawed it is. Also I have to wonder if I can use this against my friends when they beat me on XBL

If anything, they're giving ideas to the P2P users.

I don't think you understood the article.

Printers on networks have IP addresses. The researchers were able to make it look like the IP addresses of the printers were participating in the bit torrenting of files.

With Ice or Without?

Now that we have fridges and freezers as network appliances, presumably they can download music and videos too, and put them on ice.

Absolutely incredible.

So a printer, with no networking capability, and plugged in using USB, has an IP?

 Interesting:paper concludes ISPs in best position to monitor

The investigation by the team that wrote the paper concludes that the best way to monitor infringers is thru the ISPs participation.

»dmca.cs.washington.edu/uwcse_dmca_tr.pdf
The risk of exposing monitoring agents: A major
challenge for enforcement agencies is coverage; i.e.,
identifying all infringing users.

Given these challenges, recent calls from industry
to enlist ISPs directly in enforcement are unsurprising
[6]. Since ISPs do not need to participate in P2P
networks to monitor user behavior, there are no apparent
monitoring agents to block.
So while the paper says current methods of DMCA notification COULD have errors and gives aid to those fighting those trying to catch music & movie thieves, the paper also gives aid to the **AAs in their efforts to lobby Congress to force ISPs to monitor user activity.

And people wonder why the RIAA & MPAA are trying to get laws passed making ISPs monitor users P2P activities as well as all online activities.

NO. They are talking about printers on a LAN that have their own NIC cards or WiFi connection to routers and therefore have IP addresses.

With the Xerox WorkCenter series of printers, your pirated movie downloads are automatically printed as a series of stills, collated, and bound into a book, which you can then flip through simulating motion. The dialog is automatically 'close captioned' and printed at the bottom of each still image.

Instead of book-binding, choose to have the images automatically placed into a hand-cranked kinetoscope for your viewing pleasure.

If you choose the Braille option, the dialog is printed in Braille in a booklet of otherwise blank pages, thereby saving 100% of the toner and dye inks, providing valuable cost savings to your business's bottom line.

Ah, but can your power button slag your printer, causing it to burst into flame, shooting flaming pieces of paper across the room in fiery arcs of destruction, raining death on your other pieces of computer hardware? :-D

Guilty till you prove yourself innocent... Oh which you can'

So, piss someone off and suddenly find yourself facing total financial ruin or prison even though you're completely innocent.

Show up and court and be told that you destroyed the evidence of your crime (because you reinstalled your OS 2 months previous)

Joy.

That's not how I read it.

It said that Industry lobbying ISP's to monitor is not surprising, but said that ISP monitoring would be necessary to *protect* the users from bogus DMCA takedowns.... not ISP's need to help enforce them....

That's the way I read it anyway.
