They might have hit that site but there are a shit load of others. The day they hit Napster and shut it down a couple years back was the biggest mistake they could have ever made. After Napster everything exploded. Now we have the Gnutella network that is still running really smooth and that's what I personally use. More recently we now have torrents. There are a ton of torrent f.s. programs, Gnutella network f.s. programs, many private server f.s. programs, Direct Connect f.s. program with hundreds maybe thousands of private networks, and many hundreds or thousands of websites. When one site goes down 10 more pop up.

They can't fucking stop the movement. They have been trying to stop the filesharing movemement for years now. Now that everybody is upgrading to high speed internet is basically impossible for the cocksuckers. :cool:

Kick back relax and continue on with the movement. They couldn't stop us from pirating software and they can't stop us now. :flipthebird:

Now that everybody is upgrading to high speed internet is basically impossible for the cocksuckers.

Actually this could make it very easy for them to take down a significant portion of the movement.

Think about how centralized most of the broadband ISPs are... Gone are the days of the "ma and pop" ISP, when anyone could rent a T line and start giving out dial-up net access. Now we have a bare handful of companies who completely DOMINATE the broadband market (mostly the companies who already had the infrastructure set up: the telcos and cable companies).

If they get through to just a couple of these media-conglomerates....well could you imagine if BellSouth "decided" to start actively blocking file-sharing, or even worse agreed to monitor their customer's usage to hand over to the feds?

It could happen. In fact I think we're lucky it hasn't already happened.

Very true I wasn't thinking about that side of the coin. Ok. You just gave me another aspect to ponder on. Ill get back to you on that. :confused: However I do know that ISP's have always been very good about customer privacy and respect. I can't see them rolling over any time soon. This shit has been going on for years and they haven't rolled. If bellsouth ever rolled Time Warner and AOL broadband would pick up a lot of new customers that for sure and vice versa.

It's got to be against our privacy rights to monitor without reasonable cause. All in all there is more to it. The feds just can't monitor our every move or they probably would be. File Sharing is used for legitimate purposes so the ISP's couldnt just block File Sharing. It is more complicated then you made it seem. I just don't have any hard facts at the moment. :shrug:

Well they don't. They're not doing it to try to quell copyright infringement, apparently. Their reasoning was that torrents use up ~40% of their total bandwidth and are taking too much of a toll on overall network speed, so they're limiting their speed. Torrent files are also 'different' from normal internet traffic, so they can just easily pick em out and slow them down.

All's I'm saying is that, if an ISP wants to, they could crush the whole torrent system pretty quickly.

And believe me, if I would have known about this before, I'd have DSL.

Rogers does this every year or so: they'll put a cap on the bandwidth you can use, which always results in a LOT of people switching to Bell Sympatico. Then a few months or a year later, Rogers will take the cap off and use it as an advertising point ("NO more caps! Join today!"). The cycle then begins anew.

I doubt major corporations really give a shit about what their customers think. :smirk:

They know there's always another 5 suckers who will jump on the wagon for every one who hops off.

For instance, you would be surprised (or maybe not) about the ammount of people I take support calls from who pay for TWO ISP's: they'll have DSL from their phone company, and STILL pay for AOL on top of that. They just don't understand that the DSL is their net connection, and that they don't even need AOL.

AOL, of course, fails to mention this to them.

Another example is NetZero's new "Hi-Speed" internet access...which is actually just dial-up internet with a little extra compression added on.

Not surprised in the least bro. hah. That's definately somthing AOL would pull. They are mergered with Time Warner now and a lot of people pay for both road runner and aol on top of it. As you said some just can't get it through their heads that AOL is not their connection to the internet.

Others just like the E-Mail service AOL provides so they pay top dollar when they could get a number of free internet based e-mails. Not to mention their ISP provides a POP address and what the hell is wrong with Outlook Express or one of the various other free e-mail applications you can use with your pop3 account??

:nonono:

I live in Canada; will Social Insurance Number suffice?

I can't be bothered with all of this; how about I just send you all of my financial documents and any plastic card I own?


That would be wonderful sir. I assure you that we will take good care of you and your assets.  :smile:
