El Paso, TX | This is gonna blow up on their face... Sell people high speed Internet, then send them back to 90's speeds. Sounds like a fool proof plan to me... |

if it still exists a year after it's introduced I'll be surprised... |

Really? what about if your accused falsely? It costs $35 to prove even have a chance to plead that your innocent.
Seems pretty backwards to me. |

Really? How about the law of due process in the constitution? They are making you pay a fee to prove your innocence when it should be the accuser who should be paying the toll to a court when they have solid, verifiable information. Comments like yours seriously ruffle my feathers.
And remember, this is copyright infringement, not criminal theft (at least until the EI pads enough people in D.C. to re-write the law in their favor). Its a civil matter, like if Mr. C were to chase after Mr. A to tell him to go tell Mr. B to give him his stuff back. Go tell Mr B. yourself A.Hole.
How would you like it if I were to war-drive to your house, crack your wi-fi and download an inordinate amount of data every night while you are sleeping and sit back and laugh as you get throttled down to 256K? There is no check and balance here to make sure the "offender" is the one who is actually offending.

| Youre gonna crack my WPA2 and my mac filtering? Good luck. |

| LOL, you think either of those is that hard to do?
How cute. No wonder you come here arguing the way you do. |

How about speeding tickets. I get a ticket saying I MUST pay and yet I have even been to court to prove my innocence. The cop is being judge and jury and handing out sentence. |

How many people are going to have neighbors that can do that? Most neighbors I have are pretty stupid when it comes to technical things. |

Just answered your own question  And that's why people will get copyright notices because as you say they're too stupid to setup WPA2 or secure their network. |

if you get accused of crime to you not have to pay bail and pay for a lawyer? How about speeding tickets. I get a ticket saying I MUST pay and yet I have even been to court to prove my innocence. The cop is being judge and jury and handing out sentence. Copyright infringement is not a crime - it is a civil offense between two parties.
As an aside - when you get a speeding ticket you have to sign it but signing it is not an admission of guilt - you have to go to court and enter a plea and proceed from there. You don't have to pay the court a fee to prove your innocence. |

| Your ISP is not the court. They are simply doing what DMCA tells them they are permitted to do. You are more than welcome to take them to court and get out of paying that $35, but you are going to spend a lot more than $35 to prove your innocence. |

Have you ever cracked a decent length, strong password WPA2 secured router? I didn't think so. It is hard to do. No, it is nearly impossible to do. If it is not a short, simple password, it is not going to happen. |

If the character length is under 7-8 characters it can be cracked in a matter of days if not hours. There have been studies of companies whose password databases were leaked and conclusions drawn from the choice of passwords users selected. From that data it was shown that a large number, if not a majority, had short and sometimes embarrassingly easy passwords. |

| Yes, like I said long ago, good luck cracking MY 30+ character WPA2 w/ MAC filtering. If some loser is intelligent enough to break that, just to illgally download copyright, he should take his talents to the computer industry and get a JOB, so he can afford to not break the law.
IF this was to happen to me, after my first couple notices of violations, I guess Id then have to shutt down my wireless and go cat5. Really wouldnt be a big deal. |

You're part of the under 5% who use passwords longer than 12 characters. The reason why this anti-piracy campaign will fail is because morons who can't make a wifi password other than "12345" or "password"(cat 5, wat iz dat?) are going to be the ones to complain the loudest when they get served piracy notices and their expensive 'Super Fast FIOS' is throttled at just above 56K speeds. Verizon will become overwhelmed with legal battles and ultimately will file it under 'fail'. You heard it here first lol |
