| Good luck with that..
I for one wouldn't sign up with them they don't need to be tracking me. Good luck with SSL and figuring out all that encrypted data.
Piracy has been spoken about so much what else is there to say? the UK is already going nuts with the video cameras and other stuff so why not bend to the entertainment industry?
My advice, encrypt your traffic and keep your radio volume low god forbid someone listen to your music!

| With the right hardware, it is trival to crack SSL traffic.
Man in the middle attacks are pretty easy when you're the ISP.
I think it will be interesting to see how many people VirginMedia ultimately kick off their network and if there is any impact to that division's bottom line. |

Modern encryption is not at all easy to crack. What you refer to as "Man in the middle attacks" requires a highly selective circumstance, which I do not think applies here |

You don't have to kick a whole lot off the net to have an effect. All you have to do is kick off a couple hundred and then publicize it like crazy. That will get all but the hardcore thieves to back off.

i agree, with the amount of packets that pass through the ISP's network and a cracking time much larger than real time, SSL of sufficient key size is still secure. from what i've found 40-bit keys for ssl isn't that secure, but nearly all keys now are 128-bit for ssl, so good luck cracking that. |

I dont know about you but I and many other would not longer need high speed connection just to get e-mail and a little brosing the net.
This move could harm the internet as a whole. |

Really ?
define trivial. We have Sun e20k's that I frequently use when there is low usage to try and attack ssl 128. It's not trivial. And those suckers are number crunching fiends.
Considering those boxes full loaded run easily over 4 million I would not say trivial.
Plus snooping ssl becomes a slippery slope. Actually more like a luge track. What happens if a hacker finds a way in and starts picking off bank transactions ? Or stored traffic is analyzed and a hacker finds a way in to get personal data.
You think they will get immunity ? I don't , banks don't play when it comes to big loses. TJX any one ?
Virgin Media will be raked over the coals and spit on for their pittance. I for one would love to see the people revolt and leave them floundering like AOL. Send a good solid message that the net is the next frontier and controlling a world wide frontier is not the business of the entertainment industry.

Theft is when you steal a physical object belonging to another person while copyright infringement is when you copy IP without permission from the copyright holder. There is a huge difference between the two. |
