The train is leaving the station - all aboard. The U.S. won't be far behind.

Piracy is well on its way back to the underground, where it belongs.

In that case, it's safe to say that the track crossties/fishplates a mile away from the station are in pretty bad shape...... | |

Im supprised no one has chimed in claiming "that is NOT what net neutrality is about!!!!!11one"
but if the entertainment industry was able to push it through our neighbors across the pond, we'll be expecting it here soon too...

Would the RIAA/MPAA re-emburse the ISP's for the lost subscriptions? | |

If they eventually do include the account termination in the plan. Would the entertainment industry reimburse the ISP's for the lost customers? | |

Same premise they use now would be implemented, i.e., "Guilty, until proven innocent". Encrypted traffic=Piracy! Encrypted traffic=Terrorists. High volume traffic=Piracy! | |

Dallas, TX | This will merely drive people to less traceable methods Of getting the music, movies, TV shows and software they
want. Gnutella and BitTorrent are by no means the only way
of getting content from the Internet - there's private FTP
sites, IRC, Usenet, Rapidshare and Megaupload. Even Google
can be used to search for infringing content. Of course,
the other methods are usually more complicated to use than
p2p.

@bellsouth.net | Sounds like a threat.. If you send somebody a letter saying "I'm watching everything you do." do you go with:
A) That's ok, since I don't do anything wrong I'm fine with that.
B) That sounded like a threat, I should contact the police.
Or does a company making threats entitle them to special treatment over what an individual saying the same thing would be treated like? | |

How about the small businesses (eg.music stores, software stores) that cannot compete with the overhead that street vendors have(read:none)?
Should they be compensated?

ॐ | This is what is called the 'Totalitarian Tiptoe'. The Totalitarian Tiptoe is the world domination method of slow encroachment on civil liberties and freedoms, used by a small few that want to control the world, and of course this includes the internet.
The Totalitarian Tiptoe involves small, easily-accepted (and less noticable) steps to achieve a pre-desired endpoint that would otherwise be totally discarded by the general populace of the world.From:
