Quote: I agree I think the ISP's will be hurting and ill vote republican as well if Obama passes this law. I don't think that will happen though.
Why would you do that? The republicans and the democrats are both slaves of the media industry (as well as other big corporations). If you want a change, vote for a third party. Your candidate probably won't win, but at least when the government messes everything up, you can say "I didn't vote for that guy".

sj512, what language do you speak? I don't have a clue how to interpret your comment. It could be my own stupidity, I guess. Please, explain for us dummies.

I think he/she is saying that should this actually happen, then he/she will be downgrading his 50mb line (using Virgin Media I guess, since they are the only 50mb supplier here at the minute) to a 10mb line, which is the lowest line Virgin Media do.
Of course, without any grammar, punctuation or a coherent message, it's really up to interpretation!! :)

maybe nobody has told Mr Meddlesome that there are many people in the UK that arent citizens (employers of the government), check it out on www.tpuc.org and I for one am not. Furthermore this statute only applys to persons and as I also not a person (although I have one) it doesnt affect me. Comments after you have researched it folks.

Has Mandy had another champagne lunch with David Geffen? I wonder how much Mandy's being paid by Geffen to introduce this Bill. Not so much cash-for-honours now, as cash-for-laws.

Good old UK - It takes forever to decide on something, and when they do as usual they go way over the top. In the UK due to everything being over taxed and over priced just about everyone has looked for a way to save money, downloading a torrent file or more is one of them. Do you ban the lot, I don't think so.

The only way to break the 2 party system is to vote for a third party. My choice would be Libertarian, but it's up to you.

No need for him to explain because if he did try to explain any further, it wouldn't be understandable. So it's not your stupidity because he never finished first grade!

nethy, don't follow you mate. I had a look though a few things on that site and found it interesting, don't quite understand what you mean though.

Don't talk like a moron in a sensible thread, and don't post racist crap like this. It's just stupid, and so are you if you believe it.

This remember me the matrix movie when Neo needed to hide to hack software undergrounds, now is going to become a pure real life, lets suppose you want a movie that didn't come to your country or a classic hard to find one, which is copyrighted in the respective country, you won't be able to share it to the world and unable to download it, but you cannot even buy it!!!, then you gonna find out the way to share it or download it anyways but has to be totally underground, if you get caught it'll be a legal offense and then u can go to jail, hmm, then ANYONE can go to jail, why? how can u prove you didn't do it? this is an easy way to disapear smart people....remember one little thing: in computer systems everything is posible and really hard to prove that you did or not did something without having an advance computer knowledge and not even, is kinda like the anti-terrorism law.
To the entertainment industry: is time to thing on lower prices, I like the idea to have a blu-ray show/movies for 5~10dls, think how much everybody can win. (I think is worth to pay 5~10dls that download 5 or 6 gigs for on a blu-ray)

i got an idea!
store all of your pirated data on a hard drive, cover it up, burry it in the garden and ask ISPs to prove you did it :)

i know someone whos got a 500GB external harddrive that gets passed around full of movies& updated.
Personally i think your ISP should have nothing to do with what you do on the internet there job is to provide a connection not to moniter what you use the internet for.technically im a UK citizen even though i live in Australia do these new laws apply to me.If you can download it for free from a website whos got the right to tell you its illegal????

If you're going to shout, Mikyplum, make sure it makes sense. I love a good rant but I couldn't really figure out what your point was. Politicians are bad, so what's original about that?
