kudos:18 | Blanket solutions suck! "Interestingly, you'll note there's no effort made here to differentiate between legal and copyright-protected P2P transfers. Though addressed briefly in the intro, there doesn't seem to be any test results that show the gears' ability to detect and throttle only copyright-protected P2P traffic."
Translation - kill all traffic using xxx protocol - legality of content be damned!

the other choice is to open all packets, examine all content and make a judgement as to whether it is legal.
I don't want ANY provider checking all my content or deciding the legality.
the gov't is all the Big Brother we need (more than enough sometimes)
you see the abuses that happened when a private party (MPAA/RIAA) was given jurisdiction to write it's own subpoenas (the gov't basically abdicated their responsibility to control the legal process) |

said by dadkins:Translation - kill all traffic using xxx protocol - legality of content be damned! Sounds like what Comcast is doing right now with their
use of Sandvine. Or Bell Canada (though they are merely
throttling ALL traffic if p2p is running).
