| The Battle Has Just Begun the line in the sand has been drawn. Now more than ever, anyone with a BB connection needs to get involved in this fight because we all know that our coin-operated "leaders" in Congre$$ prefer money over having to actually represent the constituencies that elected them.
GET INVOLVED TODAY! or the tools will take over permanently. | |

I agree we need to fight back but involving the government won't change anything..in fact, whats so hard to understand that they BELIEVE in each other? No this is going to get worse before it gets better and the only choice your going to have is either bow down or cut your broadband off...I will cut it off. I will use my free will. | |

Oh wait, I forgot, it also changes the pocket our stolen tax dollars get put in. | |

And while we are at it, throw off those people whose systems have been botted and turned in to spam machines.

Sure, let's just be OK with giving ISPs carte blanche to do what they want. Because anyone who downloads is a thief by default. Because you personally don't use beyond X gigs per month. | |

You should know by now that TK considers anyone who uses their connection for more than checking the weather a thief. | |

| Hmm ... Isn't taking stories and other materials from other places and posting them here and on his website a form of theft? Copyright infringement by TK maybe?

I hope you can understand, or that at least readers will understand, that this kind of comment is like referring to defendants in criminal cases as "criminals" when they haven't been convicted of anything.
Even if someone has been found liable by a court for copyright infringement, preventing them from having internet access would be excessively harsh. It would be evil and anti-democratic to prevent a person from having access to news, books or publishers because he committed libel or obscenity; the judgment for the plaintiff is enough.
But we're not even talking about court judgments - just unaccountable accusations which may be mistaken, or trumped up for ulterior motives. | |

| id rather see spammers shut down before pirates. infact i think ALL of our current anti-p2p piracy resources should be focused on spammers. spam causes more loss of money then people downloading torrents on the pirate bay ever will.

| Re: The Battle Has Just Begun Isn't the statistic something like 93% of internet traffic is spam? And the problem is p2p? The problem is indeed that the owners of the pipes want to take control of distribution and the legacy media are all in favor of anything that keeps it difficult for mere mortals (aka artists and creators) to do their own distribution. What a sad state of affairs.
Watch next for strict controls on encryption technology, because only pirates / drug dealers / terrorists / pedophiles / boogeyman of the month would use encryption, right? | |
