Comcast Proposes Self Regulation and P2P Bill of Rights
Torodung writes "In a recent move, Comcast has proposed a 'P2P Bill of Rights,' joining the ranks of every great monopoly when threatened by government regulation for alleged misbehavior. They have instead proposed comprehensive industry self-regulation and cooperation with major P2P software vendors as a lesser evil: 'Comcast is looking to further position itself as proactively — and responsibly — addressing the issue of managing peer-to-peer traffic that traverses its network, announcing Tuesday it will lead an industry-wide effort to create a "P2P Bill of Rights and Responsibilities" for users and Internet service providers.'"
Sounds about right. Looks a lot like the UN councils on "human rights" where tin-pot dictatorships, murderous scum, and totalitarian states (cuba, china, saudi arabia anyone?) sit around condemning the nations with the best human rights records in the world while hushing up their abuses.
Concrap needs to be told to cut the crap off and provide the service people are paying for.
The answer to your post is: Guantanamo.
That is only an example of the respect the US have for human rights.
And about "the brutal rape and murder of children".. . I don't see why you need to add "brutal", as if some other kind of rape was less punishable.
What some people think is that killing people is a violation of human rights, even if the murdered guy is a rapist and a murderer. The whole idea is that human rights apply to all humans. Not people you like. All humans.
Lets not forget that that's also an example of what the US think about property laws,
"STFU you ain't getting it back, were bigger than you!"
"Fine but you do realise it just makes things more ironic when you talk about human rights abuses in Cuba"
*Smack*
IranAir Flight 655 never forget!
