Maybe I should reduce the payment accordingly? (For what it is worth I do not use p2p applications, nor is downloading here in Canada for personal use, illegal)

There are lots of ways to get around the content filtering even if they tried, the net result is likely to be that they will get even more traffic on the wires, as people will start using encryption and tunnels.

Besides if some company wants to start filtering "illegal" content, I will know who to sue the next time I get spam/viruses for failing to filter that ;)

Any army (except maybe "the salvation army") is by definition a terrorist organization.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20250191 Sat, 29 Mar 2008 22:19:06 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20241625 jaa : An ISPs capacity is a function of their plant and is finite. It cannot be changed by altering the traffic traveling over the network.

By filtering pirated material from their networks, they could make more of their finite capacity available for other uses.

Good luck figuring out how to ban torrents that are pirated material while allowing legitimate material.
