The day AT&T puts this in place I'm leaving.
The term "Pirated material" is very vague, most of us think of pirated material as Movies and Music but it can go beyond that take the MediaDefender leak into consideration one could consider that as "pirated material" or what if someone leaks government corruption, the agency involved could claim that the information released is "pirated material.
AT&T probably won't respect fair use so say goodbye to those video or audio clips that you enjoy from movies, tv shows and even news clips.
I've seen it time after time where sites like youtube remove millions clips off their site and in a sense they are removing a part of history.
"copyright infringement" and "pirated material" should be handled on a case by case basis. ISP's should not get involved by instituting network wide bans of any material, doing so is censorship. -- "Time does not actually exist beyond an artificial measure we create in our minds to separate events we experience into blocks that are easier to reference instead of as a whole single event that just happens and continues happening" - evolvedant |
