The ISP's would go broke. I certainly wouldn't be spending $ 38.00 a month for service with wireless networking just for surfing the internet. I would go back to dial up in a heartbeat and tell the broadband services to you know what up a rope and suck on the other end. The other comment that states that the entertainment business doesn't understand that we are tired of being their sheep and treated like a mushroom (fed Bovine Scaffology and kept in the dark).
Just my $.04 (Inflation)

Will never happen. What if FAST goes to ISP provider XYZ and tells them they have the 'evidence' (make me laugh) that 80% of their customers are file sharing. Do you seriously think that the ISP will freely agree with those idiots and cut off 80% of their clientel? That would be economic suicide.
The director general of FAST needs to wake up and smell the coffee. His draconian way of thinking is way past due.

What a load of hardened bullhockey! This is about as ridiculous as saying that if we get rid of all of the guns, criminals won't be able to use them to kill people... Not only is it a violation of civil liberty, but it is a blatant attempt to gain control over the Internet all together and say who gets to use it all together.

Well, Repub candidate Mitt Romney went on record saying he wants to "chip" sex offenders and monitor them 24/7...for the children. So I guess Pirates will be the ones to get the axe soon thereafter. And 20 years later of course..regular citizens like you and me who might be late on our taxes.
I remember my grandpa telling me that when social security came out in the 1940s (30s?), the politicians swore up and down it would never be used for a means of identification. But try and get a job, rent a car, or apply to college without one.
No thanks.

"Christian Pirate" doesn't work, sorry. Thou shall NOT violate the Digital Millennium Copyright Act or "Steal"
Anyway don't take any offense from broad insults, i firmly believe if something is said as joke, or in a lighthearted manner. it should only be seen as comedy or humor and should not be taken offensively, simple. don't take things to heart i say loads of racist jokes, but i don't mean them, mainly towards the Irish and blacks, but its all light hearted and doesn't mean a thing. Am i a bigot for making jokes like that? no. the same reason im not "self-harmer" because i make jokes about myself.
a joke is a joke it holds no water, it comes as quick a social security benefits for foreigners. and goes just as fast.
Peace out.

do you think people who file share should be doing more to hide their identity when doing it? what would you recommend for this?

John LOVELOCK sounds like good name for a C.S. to me. Wanna bet that he's a "bugger" as they call them in the UK?

fair enough mitchls, but all you have done is define irony for me (seeing the first comment as a joke but not the second) as I have done for you ("Christian" "pirate") Oh, and my favorite THOU SHALL NOTs are the customized kind, for instance, Thou should not talk if though does not really have anything to say.
As for stealing, personally, I think Robin Hood is in heaven and as for bigotry that is your business (Thou Shall not Judge) but enough of the preachy talk, that is not who I am.
Laters.

emugamer,
I don't AOH3LL I have Bellsouth/ATT but I would go back to dial up. I still have my dial account with Yapoo.
Sorry for the lousy post. I just can't put the words together tonight. Thank God for our neighbor because my submersible pump crapped the bed and its going to cost $ 1000 - $ 1300 to get it replaced. What aggravates me if I had the equipment I could probably do it myself and save $ 500. I have about 300 feet of garden hose feeding my tank from my neighbors well.
Best Regards

It was a joke - in light of the recent AOL financial news and layoffs....nevermind. If I have to explain it, it was a bad joke :-(

Complaining here doesn't do much good other than it makes you feel better. In the US the Judiciary committee is supposedly cooking up some great law to wipe out piracy and protect the artists. I find it ironic that the artists have to go on strike to get a piece of that new pie. The Media Mafia states they do not understand. "The market is too complex for that." All they want is a percentage. If nothing is collected they would be happy to get nothing. The politicians have to be in their pocket to agree with them.
You all need to write the committee members. Fear of losing an election is the only way to slow them down.

so if you pirate something under that law you get banned, hmm ok lets take it a few steps farther. if your caught stealing an extra bred roll from a buffet you get banned from eating, if your late on returning a movie you can no longer rent one ever again, if you get a speeding ticket you banned from driving, if you get a ticket for jay walking you can never use the streets again, ect.....
what a bunch of smegma that law is. i think he should be banned from opening his big mouth for the nexr 50 years or so.

England's version of the MPAA and the RIAA. Thats all we need more organizations like this to think they can police everyones activities.
