Re: Say goodbye...Well if your only copy is sitting on a ISP's public webspace, you deserve to have your content deleted. It's going to happen accidentally at some point, it being on purpose will just teach you the lesson more quickly. | |

HarshWoW ! Australian ISPs really seem to suck. Caps, high prices, and now this. Also note this is another OPT-out program by a company. Companies never do it the other way around... Because they know customers wouldn't. | |

nothing wrong with itThe minority obviously spoiled it for the majority.
But in the end they won't block P2P traffic, I assume? | |

StupidHow big a webspace are they offering? My ISP (Eastlink) has a webspace so small that there's no way you could have any copyrighted materials.
Congratulations Exetel - you are todays ILS (Internet laughing stock) | |

Re: StupidThanks for that...
Correct me if I'm wrong, but a little bird tells me that roughly 30 minutes of typical quality video averages around 180MB. They must have a beef with smaller files, like mp3. Why not just ban that particular file type?
Draconian and dumb if you ask me. Hopefully their customers leave in droves. | |

Re: StupidI wonder how many are even using the webspace. I've fired up my Comcast personal webspace maybe twice in the 7 years I've had the service. I'm the only person I know who has done this. (and most people I know use Comcast, because the alternative is 768k DSL) | |

I NEVER use ISP services other than the connection itselfI never use ISP webspace, email or anything other than the connection. Occasionally I'll use an ISP's usenet servers but even that is rare. I used my ISP's portal until they turned it into a flash-bloated POS.
Too bad I'm still paying for all that other crap. | |

Karl was inaccurate in suggesting that you must relinquish your own copyrights and are prohibited from hosting licensed content when he wrote "promising the ISP none of the content is copyrighted".
What is really required is "I am the copyright owner, have permission of the copyright owner or that there is no copyright on the files". | |

Extension means jackYou guys do know that there are utilities(file) out there that detect file types from their signature and not extension? Get out of the windows extension world once in a while | |

Common CarrierI like the common carrier concept brought up in another similar thread. Why is the ISP responsible at all? They didn't put anything their, they just provide a service.
Bush and this 9/11 changed the world cronies have changed more common sense than anything else. | |

This is why ISP's need Safe Harbour... If Safe Harbor protections are undermined, either criminally or with civil judgments, then ALL ISPS will have to do this.
Think of the day when USENET dies because ISPS block all access due to the fact someone MIGHT send a copyrighted file. Imagine FTP being mostly blocked and all ports being blocked EXCEPT for certain ones being open for select applications.
If you think Telco and Cable ISP's care about your "Rights" if it costs them money (or criminal time) think again, they'll cut you out/off/down in a second. This is why Safe Harbor must be protected vigilantly. | |

What's the point?What does an average person need high speed internet for if you can't download music/movies or other large files (whether legal or not)? If the internet police continue, we might as well go back to dialup or low speed DSL Lite and save our money. | |
