Re: Giganews - Just signed up. Am I stupid?


I'm on AT&T DSL so I thought I might as well get on SSL before that anti-piracy snooping crap goes online. (not that I believe it even has the potential to look through split rar files - although sometimes music downloads are sepeate .mp3 files w/ pars).

 Honestly Vorpal that wont happen for years. There are also going to be court cases and everything else and by the time it's implemented who knows what the status of newsgroups would be. Heck you never know if isp monitoring was legalized giganews might give ssl away for free. ISP copyright content monitoring is just not realistic and the isp's are not obligated anyway due to a law stating there not responsible.

Anyway..

I think you can always upgrade your plan at anytime anyways. Just a thought to save you 60 dollars a year anyway.
