Re: ISP's as Pirates?

But that's how they propagate changes to the TOS already, isn't it?

I'm not sure what you mean by the "dark side", though...

You agreed to it, though. The ISP will send you the little slip attached to your bill informing you of the change to the terms of service, and by continuing to use the internet you agree to the change. After all, the company reserves the right to change these terms at any time. Best you can hope for is that if you're on contract the change will be enough to let you out. (And then you can go back to dialup, since all other broadband ISPs are also doing it!)
Many states do NOT allow you to agree to something like this just because they post it. It's kind of like an insurance comapny writing you a check and on the back it says " By cashing this check, you agree that this matter is settled.". It doesn't fly. You should have to actively agree to something like this. Nope, nope, nope. It's obvious you are on the dark side!!!
