The ISP can't see what kind of files you're downloading, now can they?

bad to turn ISPs into policemen - there isn't a reasonable stopping point once that is started

That sucks. Good for Verizon.
There is an article in the new Wired about how imminent demise of the music industry altogether. With acts like this, it makes me hate them even more.kazaa has 60 million users...can't wait to see what happens when they piss them off! 600 hundred songs copied and they want to go after the guy?! Damn, that will put us all in jail!

It's obvious that "justice" is a commodity that can be bought by corporate johns like the satanic RIAA. It's been all out war since the crucifixion of Napster. I will do anything to oppose the scum and do it with as much guilt as I would if I asked to read someone else's newspaper or take a book out from a library.

it's just like lending off books or magazine for you to read, if you like it, you still buy yourself a copy.
lighten up, this is 21 century.

they made there own bed when they decided 25 bucks was a fair price for a cd, I hope the music industry falls flat, get rid of britney spears and the sort.

Of course they can tell what you're downloading. Don't be delusional here.

it's a fucking decay in the music industry nowadays, too many one-hit wonder and quick-cashs maker......

To be honest, if the music industry pays Robbie Williams £80 million then pleads poverty, I sorry... it rings rather hollow.
So people download music. If they like it they'll buy it. It would be far better for they to improve quality output instead of prosecuting individuals. Now that's criminal!!!

Interesting fact about the RIAA:
The RIAA is quoted as saying that since the onset of MP3 trading, RIAA revenue has dropped by 25%.
Sounds pretty harsh.
Until.
You find out that, predicting a hard time ahead, the industry *axed* 20% of production voluntarily. So in essence MP3 trading had only a 5% impact on revenue, which was still in the busta-paddy-mack-billion range even after half of it was spent on coke.

a followup to yesterday's post:

hmmmmm.
and a couple of questions about this whole deal.
1. Does this ruling affect only Broadband (DSL and Cable) users? Ones who have a consistent I.P. address? If that is the case. Correct me if I am wrong.
2. If you are on 56K, don't you have a different I.P. address everytime you log in? If so, how does this ruling affect modem users?
Just curious. ;-)
