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. Well no because the money involved isn't even calculable. Everytime someone download a song or movie the record company/movie studio tries to say its a "loss" when in reality it isn't. For example I have the Alvin and the Chipmunks soundtrack that I downloaded yesterday sitting on my PC. I downloaded it purely because my sister saw the movie and said the songs were hysterical they were so bad (and they are)
Now, had I not been able to download the album, I can assure you I would have simply took her word for it. Now the movie/record studios would say this was a loss of xx dollars...but how is that possible? Had I not been able to download the album I would never in my life had gone to the store and bought it.
If they decide to enforce this and everyone moves to encrypted traffic you just made the problem worse and at the same time helped the "criminals" even more. |
