| Thieves don't ruin for all? Theres only 20 million or so of them Austrians. Not all of them access the interweb. Just boot thieves off if they get caught. Where else are they going to get their internet access from?
They could always go one step up and have biometric tracking to access the internet within the country. Easier to track. |

As for the so-called attempts to block p2p, it isn't going to work. I see a lot of Australians using proxies, VPN and other means such as encryption to get around the filters. There are other ways of getting content than BitTorrent and other p2p. And it is going to make that country's politicians extremely unpopular.

Were you a past client? 2by2.net was a pyramid scam  ftc filed some injunction on it and I knew some dumbass who fell for it and lost $300 even after I repeatedly warned him it was a pyramid scam. His response was, it's not a pyramid scam because they told me so at the seminar. lol
quixtar? that's just amway in disguise.

The point with most of these measures is to curb the "casual pirate". Serial #'s can be found online, activation can be cracked, DRM can be hacked, etc...but companies still do it because it alleviates a certain % of would-be thieves.
Think about the sensormatic tags that set of the alarms in retail stores. Are they fool-proof? Far from it. The professional thief can disable them, remove them, etc...but it is a deterrent. Companies wouldn't spend the $.06 per product on them if they served no purpose. |
