Re: ISPs will start doing this
said by GOLFnSUN  :ISPs will start cooperating with the Intellectual Property industries as intellectual content becomes a larger and larger part of a country's GDP. And no matter what the EFF says, they will find a way to implement blocking of illegal content, even if it means implementing a list of ALLOWABLE IP addresses and web sites. There is just too much money involved(and the amounts of money is constantly growing) for them to do otherwise. I agree they will try something. It will end up being a PITA the for legit content users like myself and the Bad Guys™ will just find a way around it.
Technology marches too fast for the huge, monolithic companies like AT&T, to react in a timely manner. By the time a bypass is even on their radar, there will be 2 or 3 other ways of bypassing it.
The solution is so simple, but it'll never happen:
- Go after the advertisers.
If you go after the companies that aren't hiding and who advertise on illegal sites, you'll take the money equation out of running an illegal site. It wouldn't take too many companies being sued under the might of an MPAA or RIAA to scare other companies away.
Besides, like someone else mentioned, encrypt all traffic ... now what? List of allowable IP addresses? Proxy. |
