Re: Pay for this?
Tempting offer! I'll have to pass though.
I've recently given up throwing money away.

The builders of the network are risking billions of share holder dollars. There is no way they will permit leaches to suck them dry.

said by davisx :Here's a question, if I have to actually pay for content from this website, why the heck would i want to be uploading anything? They are trying to reduce their bandwidth costs at the expense of the ISP's bandwidth costs. I think they would lose in court claiming discrimination for blocking bittorent if the ISP blocks the whole protocol for all sites and not just specific ones. Of course, net neutrality could alter that equation if it ever passes. But personally I believe that an ISP can block a protocol and not a site and stay out of legal trouble.
