Re: just ban all rr ips said by Chaldo:It's pretty easy all they do is ban all Road runner ip addresses, usually by trace they can find its coming from roadrunner. then again its easy to get out of that too hehe. But Viacom are being little bitches. Very easy to get around that. Just use a proxy server. Hell, even Time Warner Cable can setup an off site proxy. Then setup a web page full of online Viacom stuff which directs through that off site proxy server specifically for Time Warner Cable customers.  If Viacom pulls everything offline from everyone then it only hurts viacom and no one else.

They limit that content to customers of certain ISP providers (of which Comcast, Time Warner, and Brighthouse are NOT ISP subscribers)
I would think they could easily implement an ISP-based solution like ESPN did. |

| They do it based on the ip blocks , They simply blacklist the ip blocks of any isp they don't want accessing the site.
Easily worked around with a proxy on an isp that does get accepted.

| It's kind of an interesting note that "network neutrality" only applies to the network, not the endpoints. Servers (or clients) can block whatever IP addresses they like, of course people won't like it. Furthermore, the blocked networks aren't required to go out of their way to get through a block, they just can't do any blocking themselves. |
