Riverhead, NY | Sounds fair Is this akin to the software that would check for "illegal files" on your computer and offer to delete them? The software that did a blanket search for .mp3, .avi, etc etc and blanket flagged them as "illegal"?
I just can't understand this. I want to actually SEE software/hardware which ISP's can implement which has a X% of accuracy and Y% of false positives.
Oh wait...that doesn't exist? Well hell, someone tell RIAA and MPAA.
Once the software/hardware is available, independently tested, X is >= 80% and Y <= 10% then I could see asking/forcing an ISP to utilize the technology. Until then, I haven't seen any technology that is that "advanced". | | |

This is the same thing as a "content filter". It never works 100%, and only hurts the people who have valid reasons to visit "blocked" pages. My high school put a content filter into high gear, so much that it blocked video game console news sites, but yet they didn't block google videos or youtube. In fact I did an academic paper back then, and basically any filter that says that it works x% of the time, doesn't. This should be an opt-out system, you will get x% of people to go with the system (just like sheep! Bahhh!) because they are scared of the **AA, personally they can shove the system where the sun don't shine  . If they implement this system, I'm buying a T1 and starting my own ISP; I'm taking pre-signups, anyone live in the Homer Glen area? . All I know is I wont bend over for some guy in a suit telling me how I need to run my network or what I need to put in it. | |
