So how will these supposed filters identify piracy? Say someone logs on p2p and downloads something legal. Will it flag it as being illegal? Let's assume it does, wouldn't that constitute data mining since it's trying to determine what you are downloading? I thought data mining was illegal? I guess this bill is trying to legislate that. Now here's the big question, if it flags your account wrongfully and you get a letter and warning, can you sue government / Isp or are both being given immunity. After all, the excuse our filter works 99 percent of the time doesn't do the 1 percent good. A cop can't arrest 99 percent of the people successfully and shoot the other 1 percent because he or she forgot their handcuffs. Just curious. My guess, the stupid politicians will try to give the ISPS immunity like ATT and those other companies are dying to get about now. Likewise, they probably will write some clause saying even though they are enforcing the law, we can't demand compensation when it goes awry. A thought here, is the U.S. going to hell in a handbasket lately (assuming we're next for this crap)? |
