BitTorrent CEO On Net Neutrality
angry tapir writes "According to BitTorrent CEO Eric Klinker, the Internet industry has to regulate itself by responding to consumer demands in the wake of the recent US federal court ruling that the Federal Communications Commission didn't have authority to enforce its net neutrality rules."
uhm... no.

Power companies in the US currently use large-scale battery arrays (think lead-acid car batteries but massively larger) for storage; there are also experiments with creating large-scale flywheel farms for the same purpose.
Let's be honest. At least 90% of bit torrent traffic is either downloading p0rn or people pirating games, movies, and music.

What do you people do with your internet that is so demanding of more ISPs.
I live in Atlanta and have Comcast. It's cheaper than Clear, and faster than DSL. I never have downtime and I download a few torrents a month with no problem. I mean, unless Atlanta is the exception, my Internet is never down, and I never have any issues. 45 bucks a month for something so important and integrated into daily life, you don't see me complaining. You could probably negotiate your rent down 100 bucks if you are _that_ strapped for cash.
And if you are completely raping the 'unlimited' service because you want to utilize the full 15mbps 100% of the time, to pull terabytes of illegal data, I don't want to hear about it. You are a fucking retard and I hope your balls explode.
