Re: Excellent

I'm with you on this one cmarin. I find it hard to believe that so many of these people screaming out in agony of QoS and traffic shaping of P2P technology are downloading Linux ISO's and OpenOffice ISOs.

I'm not going to argue the semantics of copyright infringement versus theft. What I will say is people who are screaming so loudly, what legal content are you downloading? What infringing content are you downloading?

Throttle/RST the pirate and give me back my latency and aggregate bandwidth. I've little tolerance for someone who saturates the network with P2P-powered infringement.

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

Where you want me to start? Oh, I know...

I'm musician slash producer. I like to be up to date with the lastest audio hardware and software. I download huge instructional videos, sometimes done on home cameras, sometimes done in video studios, and learn how to setup hardware, patch software... hell, a friend of mine made a 2 hour instructional piano video JUST FOR ME to DL via bitorrent becuase 7 to 8 of my other buddies online helped the motherfucker make it and helped the motherfucker upload, to who? To me... lol. Now if this isn't a legal use for BT, then I truly DON'T know how to create a drum kit in less then a minute.... shit.

What happens when ALL connections are throttled? What happens when, no matter what you're doing, you are allotted only so many connections to the outside world?

And, once again, the talking point of 'all/most P2P is piracy' is brought up. Even if it was 100% pirated content, that gives nobody the right to effectively block half a protocol. If the content nazis want to go sue a twelve-year-old over it, that's their choice, not the ISP's.
