Default Re: Some ISPs Refuse to Help the US Block Pirates

Here their plan is to warn, warn, warn, and then slow the customers internet speeds to near 56K. When they do that, no one will want internet at that speed and will cut the account if not under contract.

The whole idea is you are guilty until proven innocent. You the accused will have to prove a negative (which is always much harder to do) to maintain your innocence. Plus it will cost you money from your pocket to dispute it. $35 per time and fair use is not a defense.

It's a rigged game. I suspect if it gets bad enough, the ISPs will buck up because the one thing none of them want to do is piss off the public. The RIAA and the MPAA have not yet understood the public's determination to have a free net nor have they understood properly the reasoning behind the failure of SOPA/PIPPA to pass.

This is likely to start a real upset public into actually doing things they haven't planned on happening. Much of Europe doesn't understand why the US public hasn't already started with protests and the like. It takes a lot to get the public out of its lack-a-daisy mood into action. Once it happens, the genie rarely goes back in the bottle quickly nor quietly.
