Re: wow
said by barn25  :The network buildout requirements for this will be insane just to even be able to analyze all the data!
Therefore, either a lot of false accusations, or selective targeting of certain sites or files.
The traditional "common carrier" status has been a bargain: no filtering, and no liability for what the users do (same as with telephones, railroads etc.). If filtering is allowed, will the ISPs become liable for failure to catch the infringers?
Edit: Oh, and who's going to pay for all this intensive processing of every packet on the network, to detect contraband? Every customer, of course. It would drive internet prices way up, and slow the traffic. Call it the "Hollywood tax". The US is already falling behind other advanced countries in internet speed and choices. |
