cool UPS ships illegal product now? all the drug dealers and thieves will be so happy. Your analogy is a little bit weak.
The image of bitorrent is that it is used to transfer illegaly copied software, that image is slowly changing but even so on cable the most damaging thing to network quality is torrenting its the way it works not whats transmitted. cable companies are sniffing not for mp3's to inspect but torrent traffic itself. Having said that, it sucks but at least its for a purpose. They aren't looking at the content no matter how many different ways you guys want to say it.
If it were to get out that rogers was watching you paying bills online or monitoring the videos you watch on utube people would leave rogers in droves. So rogers, to protect itself, protects you and your privacy.
If rogers was to turn in its customers that break copyright laws, other customers would panic. So rogers actually doesn't want to look at what your doing. They aren't the police, make sense? |
