Re: so two packets walk up to a club entrance.... said by inteller:both want to go through at the same time, but the packet wearing the Pirate Bay t-shirt isn't allowed in while the other packet is. that packet has just been blocked. Sounds like good policy to me.

I know, don't feed the trolls... but i can't help it
considering the internet is a marketplace, it sounds like it is anticompetitive measure that is blocking smaller outfits to distribute unless they go through the channels of distribution controlled by the incumbents. There is something very unAmerican about that. |

comcast's problem is they don't care about their customers and treat 'em like mushrooms - you know the saying. |

said by fAcEtIOUs:said by inteller:both want to go through at the same time, but the packet wearing the Pirate Bay t-shirt isn't allowed in while the other packet is. that packet has just been blocked. Sounds like good policy to me. two ways to look at it:
1. so called illegal file sharing sucking up bandwidth gets blocked, freeing up "legal" activities for customers.
2. the "legal" activities of today are tomorrow's "illegal" activities. for example, posting on messageboards. sorry, you've reached your keystroke limit for this billing cycle...you're blocked.
be careful as what you preach as moral today might be immoral tomorrow. |

But that isn't what happens. No one knows which packets will be blocked. It could be the packet destined to a linux distro, or to download a new patch for a game. So in that sense they are being neutral as they will block/delay any P2P packets. |
