More and more countries are jumping on the bandwagon. I hope the US passes a law forcing ISPs to boot users who pirate copyrighted music, movies and TV shows. Sweden is joining the UK, France and others in trying to rein in the thieves.

Keep dreaming, that is likely all you will be able to do
Thanks. I keep dreaming the US joins the rest of the world where ISPs police the internet crooks.

Add Japan to the ranks of countries cracking down on illegal file sharing over the Internet. The Yomiuri Shimbun is reporting that the country's four Internet providers agreed to disconnect Internet connections "of users found to repeatedly use Winny and other file-sharing programs to illegally copy gaming software and music."

Can't say that this comes as a shock. The reaction against illegal file sharing, which began in the United States, has spread to Europe, and now, Asia. Chalk it up to a super-effective lobbying effort by well-organized copyright interests representing software companies, music labels, and the film industry.

Why do you try to turn every Friday Open Thread into a political piracy debate? Maybe you should post that stuff in »Current Affairs/Politics or »Filesharing Software. :huh:

It's the Friday thread; we should be talking about food, beer, sex, cars, and rock & roll! Yeah, baby, yeah! :D

There comes a point in your life when you get tired of fixing everything and wiping everyone's ass. But it’s not giving up. It’s realizing that you don’t need certain people and the bullshit and drama they bring to your life.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20169323 Sat, 15 Mar 2008 12:33:48 EDT Re: Sweden could force Internet firms to name file sharers http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20169027 cdigioia : Sounds good...as long as I get to keep stealing media...]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20169027 Sat, 15 Mar 2008 11:28:59 EDT Re: Sweden could force Internet firms to name file sharers http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20167306 ARGONAUT : I guess (using Sweden's thinking) if you get a virus it's the ISPs responsibility or if your kids see any porn it's the ISPs fault???

ISPs better fight this or they'll be opening themselves too lots of lawsuits.

That's like asking the road builder and maintainers to find the speeders. Piracy IS a problem, but ISP acting as "the police" shouldn't be the solution.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20166448 Fri, 14 Mar 2008 19:45:59 EDT Sweden could force Internet firms to name file sharers http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20166189 TK Junk Mail : More and more countries are jumping on the bandwagon.
