the line in the sand has been drawn. Now more than ever, anyone with a BB connection needs to get involved in this fight ....
and support the requirement for ISP's to throw the music & movie thieves off of their networks. And while we are at it, throw off those people whose systems have been botted and turned in to spam machines.

Sure, let's just be OK with giving ISPs carte blanche to do what they want. Because anyone who downloads is a thief by default. Because you personally don't use beyond X gigs per month.

You should know by now that TK considers anyone who uses their connection for more than checking the weather a thief.

You know something? You're right. My bad.

Hmm ... Isn't taking stories and other materials from other places and posting them here and on his website a form of theft? Copyright infringement by TK maybe?

There's a few issues at stake... not just the 'movie and music' theives, but..

- The spammers
- Free speech
- Unfiltered / unthrottled access to the Internet (yeah, I like to be able to run Skype, or even bittorrent)

ISP's want to be the network police, because then they would have the ability to throttle, snoop limit access and become the gatekeepers of the Internet while being paid for by the customer, and the Ad-driven forced content. To ISP's, this is merely another win-win for them.
- A new revenue stream
- Network control

I hope you can understand, or that at least readers will understand, that this kind of comment is like referring to defendants in criminal cases as "criminals" when they haven't been convicted of anything.

Even if someone has been found liable by a court for copyright infringement, preventing them from having internet access would be excessively harsh. It would be evil and anti-democratic to prevent a person from having access to news, books or publishers because he committed libel or obscenity; the judgment for the plaintiff is enough.

But we're not even talking about court judgments - just unaccountable accusations which may be mistaken, or trumped up for ulterior motives.
