    Their customer should also sue them for loss of business, you can't just cut someone off the Internet and expect everything to be ok.

    That's 16,106,127,360 songs at 4MB each.

    Why would ISPs betray their customers?

    The more bandwidth we use the more money they make, plus pissed off customers take their business elsewhere.

    Censoring the internet is the same as the government listening to your every word then silencing you from being able to speak if they think your about to say something they don't like.

    We will not be a democracy since our communication lines will be cut, this will end all political debate except what the government chooses to tell us.

    Well guess what this is a democracy (representative in most) and if you don't make yourself heard then it is your FAULT, not the politicians, nor the "clueless" voters who do vote and make themselves heard.

    Guess what, people have made themselves heard. Our entire society has been built on freespeech but that has had zero effect.

    There is nothing we can do except try and destroy the filter as best we can when it is implemented, totally illegal but thats often the only power we have to defend our freedoms.

    From wikipedia

    "Red light cameras help to enforce traffic laws by automatically photographing vehicles disobeying stop lights. The system continuously monitors the traffic signal and the camera is triggered by any vehicle entering the intersection above a preset minimum speed and following a specified time after the signal has turned red." so the trick is to break the law slowly.

    but tires on wheels can sometimes be bought for $8.00 on half-price day at the junk yard, and dismounting them isn't that difficult if they're not those low-profile or large rim types. I'd imagine that you'd put the gasoline into the tire while it's on the ground, then lift it up and on, then toss a match or two into it.

    Low-profile tyres won't hold as much petrol as a normal road tyre.

    In Australia they are on tripods and sit at the hight of most number plates, this makes them east to run over.
