Look at it this way, we know ISPs are on side with people such as MPAA and RIAA but oppose p2p because they don't want to pay for what they have sold to the consumer.
It could also be possible that the firmware allows no changes at all to the running configuration, forcing a restart for any change made in an attempt at making it less hackable.
That's just stupid.
Honestly, who sacrifices convinience for security?
It's like a right-of-way footpath in the UK. If you let people walk across your land often enough, they develop a legal right to walk across your land.
What the hell happened to trasspass?
Im going to stop giving to charity I don't like where this could be heading!
The thought of actually being charged to recive anything is unheard of here. We have 3 Main GSM operators who cover almost all the population, this stops the monopoly situation you often have in the states.
I feel bad for you guys in the U.S. Im always hearing of ways you get ripped off.
My understanding of WHY it was illegal to bother people on cell phones though was that it costs money to the person you're calling. Unlike landlines which only charge for outgoing calls.
It's not the 1980s anymore I've never heard of phone companies chaging to recive anything.
The problem with landlines is you can make calls for free a mobile costs money to call, but even thats dirt cheap these days, unless your a spammer making thousands of calls a day. It's a good system and one that has been suggested for email (but thats another matter).
People won't think twice about sending you an email for stupid little things at 10:00 PM, because they're working and figure everyone else should be as well. But making a phone call is very different, and most people won't do it unless it's something really important. People think it's no big deal because it's just a message.
That's the exact reason I don't use email on my phone, I don't want to be woken everytime someone replys to me on/. and god forbid if my spam filter ever stopped working.

That's exactly what ISPs are doing in fact comcast and virgin media prevent the user from getting what they paid for by slow the users connection.

Why would they support this P2P system?
Something is missing from this picture.
why can't netflix use torrents? Why do we need a new system.
Because your posting a fact by saying.
"John Doe says: blah blah blah"
Adding your own comment in response to what john says is just your opinion.

Reboot a router!
Why, what are you doing to it?
The problem with YouTube is that it exists in the United States, a country that cannot be trusted with freespeech.

Im in Australia,
We have a very good cell system over here.

But it comes down to who has the most money
No it's not.
I have never been charged to recive anything.
I get the bill every months looking closer won't reveal something that's not there.
You must have a dodgy provider.
Take it up with the cops, Im sure harassment is not legal.

Its not libel if you post the scource.
Unless your quoting the scource incorrectly.
it was verified.
Seems like a case of unfit mother to me.
They had an eye witness.
The Mother needs to sue her daughter if she is going to sue anyone.
When I want to talk to someone I don't want to wait 20mins for the dam chat room to load.
"Half assed approach to email has flaws, news at 11"
People need to start hosting their email addresses not just forwarding them.
Ive always wanted
n.com
So my email becomes D@n.com
Im just saying RIAA and MPAA set their organised crime group (Media Defender) on us,
it's time we set our Mafia allies on them.
Come on there has to be someone on /. with connections.
Are the phone calls along the lines of
"Did you get my email?"
I know mine would be.

and god forbid if my spam filter ever stopped working.
Instead of settling lawsuits we should have high profile members of the RIAA assassinated.
It would be the more cost effective solution in the long run.
And the Internet is under private ownership so there is a lower expectation.
