| Scary is all I can say.....I am not sure Verizon will turn it over and what would really happen if they didn't? Sure they can hold Verizon in contempt, but in all honesty, there is nothing more than that they could do. This could get really heated and really fast. I hope Verizon sticks to it's guns, cause the outcome is a damn serious one. This gives the RIAA so much power that they would be unstoppable. It is only a matter of time though til someone comes up with some kind of IP Blocker for these services. For every action there is a reaction. If a blocker was made, no one would have 2 worry.
Our privacy is at serious stake here, and this just does mean p2p either...imagine the trickling down effects on this. On a note...Verizon does have some pretty big support behind it with Yahoo! and a a list of others supporting it.
To Verizon---don't do it. Refuse! Be held in comtempt! What can they possibly do to you? You are one of the largest telecos in America! I don't think they would shut Verizon down, there would be riots all over the country if that happened. |
