Instead of assuming those who are doing this are idiots; why not consider they might have put this up as a distraction while they try to sneak the real measures under your nose? Nowhere do they mention they aren't also monitoring your internet through the ISPs. This might just be a smokescreen.
Near the end of the presentation I think they solve this problem with some special circulation lights that allow only for the bus to make it's change of direction.
Some country's laws may flag a torrent as illegal while other countries consider it as legal. As an example, someone could be downloading a copyrighted song for backup purposes while owning a legitimate copy and these fools will automatically classify this kind of download an infringement.
Everyone knows a politician needs good acting in order to make people believe what they are saying. Thus it shouldn't be any surprise that actors have a nice headstart when a high position needs to be filled.
Jail those bankers and those economists who don't warn us before our shares start dropping or have us lose any of the money we've invested for that matter! [/sarcasm]
We can bet that the air force will rely on circumventing this forced upgrade and will hack their consoles into processing machines once again. The only downside to this approach is that they will become suable by Sony once the ACTA is pushed through. Maybe we can look forward to the Air Force fighting against the ACTA?
People learning more than one language in school cause job loss in the translating field.
People learning how to cook cause job loss in restaurants.
Free trade costs a lot of jobs at the customs.
I mean, I can create a shitload amount of jobs by having people work on many stupid things. It doesn't make those things worth working on.
When they restore the popcorn's price to a sane level, the price of the movie will go up.
In the end, the customers will have to pay something close to the price of the movie + the old overpriced popcorn, except they won't be getting any popcorn without buying it for a "fair price".
I prefer keeping the price of the movie lower while having overpriced popcorn and not be forced to buy any.
Wouldn't it be interesting to create services such as excessive content mirroring creating a great amount of very similar addresses pointing to the same content in order to artificially grow the blacklist exponentially until it becomes impossible to manage or use?
If you want to learn how to use Java's APIs, you can have a look at Sun's Java Tutorial at this address: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/index.html
There are quite a few tutorials to cover the basics, and then there is the specialized trails section which you can read when they become needed.
And then again, it's not because someone uploads to 100 different leeches that he has uploaded 100 copies. It's probably most like he's uploaded one single copy divided amongst 100 leeches.
A real "criminal uploader" that I'd expect the RIAA to go after wouldn't seed only 24 songs... He'd most likely have a few thousands...
As you point out, there's no chance such a thing could ever be written as a law without any major flaws, but even on the technical aspect it is impossible to prioritize traffic in a purely objective and deterministic way.
Net neutrality is the way to go and our providers need to spend more money on developing their network rather than developing software which cripple their own product.
But still throttling has some uses if done right. A VOIP packet needs to be a higher priority than say someone's bit torrent download because it is real time. In fact most real time apps would benefit from higher quality packet.
Then how do you determine what application needs real time and what application doesn't to provide higher quality packets? Will the next generation of P2P applications use real-time protocols to be quicker than their predecessors? Will people with legitimate real-time applications need to go through endless and costly processes to get "authorized" as real-time apps which deserve higher quality packets?
Throttling is just a new tool to make oversubscription easy. It has no advantages for the everyday customer; only downsides.
I can easily have the amount of trees grow in my own yard when I use wood chopped down from my neighbour's trees to keep my fireplace filled up.
The point being, we don't care about the amount of trees in the US alone if the amount of trees worldwide is declining.
Maybe it is. I knew Kijiji before I knew about Craigslist. As a matter of fact, I've already used Kijiji a few times but I had to read/. to learn about Craigslist:P

It was a typo... It's supposed to be Aids.

Of course, we need to be ready when Duke Nukem Forever hits the shelves!
You forgot to mention "together"... Are you trying to evade the question?

I should have RTFA'ed. Please mod parent down.
I don't like to have my buck used to implement DRM.
Civ IV will be the last Civ game I've bought.
1. Disconnect the bastard from the internet completely (the whole Vatican while we're at it) ...
2. Don't be transparent about it
3.
4. ?
5. Profit!

The only reason I go to cinema is because no one forces my hand to buy overpriced popcorn... I'm glad I'm not an Israeli!

But then maybe after 12 relationships you'll realise the 3rd one was the ideal one.

Considering you can print with any font you like, I say the scribes fail again as the printer will print these fancy letters much faster! :)
