Re: Legal P2P will be fostered; illegal P2P will be punished
Yep. American laws gives protection to automated non-human intervention systems. Aslong as the humans responsible for the automated non-human system responds to DCMA takedowns/supeonas/orders, everything is perfectly legal. Otherwise your ISP would be held as liable as you for any p2p you do, and the Tier 1 too, and the leasers of the fiber optic lines, and the city too (for aiding copyright infrindgment). |

Exactly. Trackers eat up less bandwidth than a teenager's IM conversation. 10 KB every 20 minutes. Its would be retarded for an ISP to run their own tracker. |

Re: A copyright filter has to comply with the copyright law
Dont worry, a federal judge or SCOTUS can easily rewrite the law by writing some carefully crafted case law. Remember, your rights only exist in a court room. A judge is not required to follow the law. You can't appeal a judge's personal opinion, since its the law now.
Judges INTERPRET the law, which gives lots and lots of leeway for modification. |

Re: Legal P2P will be fostered; illegal P2P will be punished
said by patcat88  :FiOS is only available to 28% of Verizon landline customers as of 2007 Q4. Wow, only 28% in 2007 Q4? Considering the VZ only started deploying FiOS in 2004, I'd suggest that upgrading 1/4 of their "last mile" infrastructure in merely three years is extremely good.said by patcat88 :Comcast won't deploy DOCSIS 3 unless there is Uverse/FiOS competition in the market. What? What about the St Paul/Minneapolis deployment? What competition is there? Also, what about Comcast's announcement to deploy DOCSIS 3 to 100% of their footprint by mid-2010? |
