People will be pissed off if this forces iTunes to close down or raise prices by 25%. They supposedly aren't even making a profit and now these bastards want to skim even more money from them.
Yep, it's a load of bullshit. Now you know why we don't give a damn about downloading music. We already pay more than it'd ever cost to actually buy the music, just by buying CDRs.
If it's not cost effective to wire up a town of 100000 people, explain why I have cable internet, DSL and wireless available in my town of 11000 and have had it since the population was lower than 10000. The next town over of 30000 has the same options as well.
That still doesn't mean that we're stacked on top of each other. I live in a small town of 11000 people and I've had DSL for 2 years. When it was installed the population was less than 10000.
This town is surrounded by FARMS.
They don't let them use it perse. What happens is someone wants to share with someone on another I2 connected university. The university pipes the traffic over I2 to save money rather than having it go over the regular internet.
There was a post here a while ago talking about how the MPAA wants to get into I2 to do "research" on next gen. video delivering technology. Of course while they want to do this they also want on the network to scan for people sharing movies. My guess is the RIAA did the same type of thing to get onto the network.
The web server would retain the state of the session across each page you visit. This would eliminate the need for cookies but there's no reason really that I can think of to do this.
The article specifically says that circumventing DRM is legal as long as it's objective isn't infringing copyright. So if you stripped your iTunes files to post in EDonkey then it's illegal. If you are doing it so you can listen to it on your favorite music device then it's fine.
The text isn't really specific enough. In the line above that it seems like you can circumvent DRM for yourself so you can do what you want with the file, but then after that it says you can't copy a CD. This seems a little bit contradictory because they are almost the same thing. Making a copy to use in a more convenient manner.
It also doesn't say if making a backup copy of a CD and storing it somewhere would be agains copyright law. It damn well shouldn't be because you should have the right to do this.
FTA:
"Moreover, the FAQ makes clear that "the circumvention of a TPM applied to copyright material will only be illegal if it is carried out with the objective of infringing copyright. Legitimate access, as authorized by the Copyright Act, will not be altered."
So you can get rid of DRM if it's for your own access and you're not going to distribute it.
It's called deterrence. Make them pay a TONNE of money if they don't comply. MS has repeately gotten small kicks in the ass for their actions and then keeps doing them. So now, they'll get a big kick in the ass.
When you sign up for an account with iTMS you agree to the EULA. Now, maybe this software allows you to sign up and doesn't display this stuff or something, but I'm not downloading it to try.
There are a few ISPs in Canada that I'm aware of that are throttling the uploading of torrents. Search DSLReports.com for Golden and Bittorrent problems.
Also, Shaw Cable in the western part of Canada is throttling torrents as well.

I was going to try that but I can't even download the torrent. Luckily the other mirrors are working still.

Well, you could really go back to the 50s or whenever when BSD was being developed!
Just realized maybe he doesn't work for MS, uh oh I'll be flamed now.
Paul Thurrott fired from Microsoft for favourable review of OS X Tiger.
Seeing how it's the universities that automatically route traffic to other I2 schools, I doubt it.
Sure. Plug into the ethernet hub on my front lawn! We can start I3 together! ;)

Dashboard only comes up when you push F12. Other than that you don't see it.

Circumventing DRM is legal for your own use.

I don't really see how this allows an ISP to host people distributing copyrighted works.

Good thing I got in while I could and downloaded a couple hundred songs mwahahaha.
So that's how cable and VOIP works, but what about DSL and VOIP?
That could be the best thing to happen in a while. People will have to get non MS stuff and realize it's better.
