Mark Cuban Calls on ISPs to Block P2P

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the point-and-laugh dept.

boaz112358 writes "Mark Cuban, Dallas Mavericks owner, HDNet CEO, and noted gadfly is publishing on his blog that Comcast and other ISPs should block all P2P traffic, because as he says, "As a consumer, I want my internet experience to be as fast as possible. The last thing I want slowing my internet service down are P2P freeloaders." He complains that commercial content distributors instead of paying for their own bandwidth, are leeching off consumers who are paying for the bandwidth. As an alternative distribution method (at least for audio and video), he suggests Google video."

    Most people with 'CEO' before their name lean Republican. He probably thinks government should get off his back, and on to everyone elses.

    The left does not have a monopoly on fascism. The right is just as bad.

    He clearly doesnt't specialise in clear thinking though.

    And you obviously don't specialize in clear writing.
