What about an indie musician using p2p to distribute his/her music..
or an indie film company.
Good job buying into the fact that there is *no* legitamite use for p2p apps |

No it won't! You still have all ports from 1024 - 65535 to deal with, which are required for outbound connection from your PC to other hosts on the internet. One effective way to slow down file sharing is to use a proxy server and REQUIRE your users to use it. With a proxy server, the ISP can also do some content filtering.

All this crap brings a lyric to mind....
said by RUSH 2112:
We've taken care of everything
The words you hear the songs you sing
The pictures that give pleasure to your eyes
It's one for all and all for one
We work together common sons
Never need to wonder how or why
We are the Priests of the Temples of Syrinx
Our great computers fill the hallowed halls
We are the Priests of the Temples of Syrinx
All the gifts of life are held within our walls
Look around this world we made
Equality our stock in trade
Come and join the Brotherhood of Man
Oh what a nice contented world
Let the banners be unfurled
Hold the Red Star proudly high in hand

If we want content filtering we'd just use AOHell

Great job buying into that the legitimate uses aren't completely overwhelmed by the illegitimate.

Ooh yeah. Rush. I have about a dozen of their albums. Maybe if the record labels would start supporting creative music like that they would actually sell more records.

I too am reminded of something...

While they are at that, block all ports, NO INTERNET but make people pay. that's the best Business Model *sarcasm*...Well, make 'em pay PREMIUM price for email & browsing is good enough. |

Yea buddy, Rush rocks...just saw them a few weeks ago on the latest tour. Amazing...
Anyway, the whole premise of 2112 I think applies very well to the whole attitude of the media companies. Pretty much we will control what you see, what you hear...and if it isn't one of our ideas, it doesn't fall into "the plan"...and therefore unnecessary.
"We have assumed control...we have assumed control..."
