Re: Rebellion said by Jigglyware:If something like this three strikes thing actually comes into force, I can foresee a huge market for services that would bypass any monitoring. I really think that implementing draconian penalties will only drive copyright infringers underground and may even make the situation worse for the copyright holders. That's happening now and it's reason number 456 that ISPs shouldn't turn against their users.
If the ISPs keep the users' trust, then users are more apt to voluntarily use technologies that cooperate with the ISP and can keep some or most of the traffic on-net (P4P, caching, P2P -- all of which do tend to keep some of the traffic on the ISP's own network).
But if the users don't trust the ISP, then they will use these anonymizing services and then 100% of the data incoming and outgoing goes out of the ISP's part of the network through a higher-cost 3rd-party transit provider.
