You could petition Chuck Norris himself, sadly, aside from the government making the practice illegal, aint much gonna help... and why will the government step in? Telco/Cable and Showbiz are a powerhouse, especially together.. By the people for the people is a lost value... its now "Buy the Government, own the people"
Netflix and Hulu? The same ISPs wanna tap that revenue stream with transfer caps... I dont know what makes you think piracy is on the decline, personal experience maybe... My personal experience (as a Canadian staring down ridiculously low Xfer caps), Piracy has moved from the internet back to SneakerNet. People passing around USB Harddrives with movies to copy, DVD's of the latest downloads, Ripped DVDs, Ripped CD's. I dont see piracy declining, I see it growing... as many of the people who are getting these copied DVD's can barely use their computer... they just want to watch Showtime shows without paying for Showtime (or the overpriced bundled channels that come with it).
Times are tough all around, even regular Farmville players are upset with the Telco/Cable duopolies...
"complaints" and "suspected pirate". From what I can tell, to the MPAA and RIAA everyone is a "suspected" pirate..... I wonder if ThePirateBay is in the top 200 website list?
Exactly, then as we all slowly become "hogs" by their definition, the mass public just assumes the price is right... Until I found a suitable third party (and I use the term suitable losely) my Broadband bill was almost equal to my heating bill**.
**Winter month gas bill. Internet $130, Gas Bill $115
So the new netflix will deliver physical media instead of instant streaming... what a great idea... To simplify it, instead of pigeons, just mail the DVD. Users could set up some sort of list, and choose movies.... and when they want their next movie, they just send back the one they have,
I think this could work..
or maybe a brick and morter store that rents the media to end users.. then they wouldnt need the internet at all... this would totally bust Netflix's blocks... hey, thats a good name... Blockbuster.
By the time any ISP is convinced to increase bandwidth exponentially, the Wii will be collecting dust.. Furthermore, nothing is stopping nintendo from allowing external storage on the Wii, except ofcourse Nintendo (us modders have 500GB HDD's hooked up).
as a father and former child... kids playing and violent crime are worlds apart. Unless every thanksgiving the kids went out and gang-raped a neighour a beat the daylights out of a [insert racial epithet of choice]. I think the 'kids less active due to video games' is a different topic all together.

Relax honey, I only left our baby alone in the bathtub for four hours.
Relax Mr. President, We only let our enemy control our nuclear arsenal for four hours
Relax Japan, we have enough battery backup for the cooling system for four hours
Relax Gulf Residents, it's only been spilling oil for four hours
Relax Public, the serial killer has only been escaped for four hours
Relax Columbine Parents, the killing spree and stand off only lasted for four hours
we could still protect ourselves the way we used to... before there we're iPhones... I don't recall Police Brutality stopping when the first iPhone dropped...
