Re: This is alarming

Quit insulting everyone's intelligence on this site. Obtaining movies and music illegally is what one does when they fire up their torrent app.

Show some numbers where the majority it not nearly all of P2P traded material is not illegal content?

One question. You say most torrents are illegal? Ok, I'll give you that. The question is, why do you care? I mean, if you're not doing anything illegal, it doesn't affect you? Who are you to say what someone else does with their connection? If you are complaining about the BANDWIDTH they use, well, it's not their fault. They are USING WHAT THEY WERE SOLD. If you have a legitimate grievance, complain to comcrap for selling more than they can provide. Tell comcrap to LOWER THE SPEEDS, that solves everyone problem.

So again, why is piracy such a problem for you. It doesn't affect you in any way. Oh, wait, you're a musician? Guess what, piracy doesn't affect your sales. A pirated copy != sold copy, simple as that.

Just about 100 percent of P2P file sharing takes place on the Transport Control Protocol (TCP) protocol. You could solve the Internet piracy problem if you got that protocol banned.

In fact, IP addresses are really responsible for this. What do we all need individual IP addresses for, anyway? With no IP addresses, there are no peers. We can all be the client to one big server.

And we really don't need all these duplicate servers, they just take up extra bandwidth and provide us with superfluous choices. We just need one of everything.

Hey, how about an Internet where we just typed what we want, such as "GO TRAVEL" or maybe just a keyword, "TRAVEL," where the Internet's official travel agency took care of us all.

Ah yes, the perfect Internet.

Children should not be produced because they could turn out to be killers. Rottweilers have no place on this earth because they maul kiddies. People shouldn't live in the middle west due to tornadoes. I could go on all day long until I turn blue.

I love this logic.

That's not my logic -- I don't support any of those ideas.

The Internet connects people, and people are going to do what people are going to do. They're like people that way.

Trying to use technology to control what people do is simply wrong, and the only reasons to spy on what people do (e.g. using DPI to come up with AT&T's figures) is to try to change it or monetize it somehow.

Managing the ISP doesn't require knowing what programs people are running. AT&T should shut up and ship my bits without inspecting them or interfering with them.

Half? And the other half would be legal content like Linux a handful of geeks use? Indy movies everyone watches? Wow patches that a billion people are playing? TV shows people think they have a right to share? Didn't the TV writers go on strike for something recently?

I guess I live in a bubble where I think everyone steals movies on P2P. I was thinking more along of the lines of people obtaining works like:

The Dark Knight
Step Brothers
The X Files: I Want to Believe
Journey to the Center of the Earth
Hancock
Hellboy II: The Golden Army
Wanted

Thanks to all for informing me, albeit it inaccurately of P2P usage.

Well, then there are about 29 million of us "geeks" out there according to this webpage: »i18n.counter.li.org/

Even if this is an estimate, Google said in 2004 that at least 1% of its visitors used Linux, and I have a feeling the linux community has picked up quite a bit since..

Just because you live on planet Microsoft does not mean the rest of us do!

Maybe you should take off your shades and try linux, it is quite userfreindly these days, not to say faster and easier to install than windows.
