Re: AT&T - BellSouth merger said by Fatal Vector:You didn't really think that it would remain a hacker/cracker/phisher/malware heaven forever, did you? I said long ago that there WOULD be steps taken to stop the identity fraud, phishing, spamming and general criminal activity on the net. It is something that, quite simply, HAS TO BE DONE. Nothing has to be done, the internet is fine the way it is. Even the hackers, crackers, phishers, malwares pay to connect to the internet, and what they do with their paid expense is up to them and if they get caught they will be held accountable for their actions. If your stupid enough to not have protection against these people, then it is your fault.
said by Fatal Vector:Seriously...You didn't really expect the internet would stay free for long once private business got ahold of it and started raping it for all it was worth, did you? It's not free, everyone pays to connect to the internet. Whether it's a web hosting company, an ISP, a Tier 2 network provider, or your average consumer (that pays 50x more per mb than the parties mentioned before). I don't think the internet is a wasteland, whatever is put on there is on there because someone is paying the bandwidth bill so it stays. You wouldn't happen to be affiliated with China's internet policy laws, would you?

That's not what I was referring to. I was referring to being able to do what you wanted without endless restrictions, advertising, etc, never mind the inevitable government boot on our necks because of phishers, crackers, malware pushers, identity theves, etc.
Jeez...Doesnt ANYONE know how to make distinctions based on context and how words are used? They just dont teach much of anything in the screwels today, do they?
"I don't think the internet is a wasteland, whatever is put on there is on there because someone is paying the bandwidth bill so it stays. You wouldn't happen to be affiliated with China's internet policy laws, would you?"
If you take the time and look, you will find endless pages that haven't been updated in years, but are still up even though they have obviously been abandoned and are wildly out of date and useless.
Just WHO then, is paying for them? Since many of them are on free sites? You know...The ones that gave you a free page on their server. Like Freewebs, Freewebz, angelfire, etc...?
And, just what part of the concept that your rights to do whatever the hell you want stop where my rights to be secure and free of criminal activity begins dont you understand?
You are actually saying that criminal activity that affects all of us is just peachy because the criminals paid for their connection? I think maybe it would be wise for you to rethink your position.
And, the bit about china was kinda stupid, dont you think? | |
