buy direct..

TPB (after the raid) got into the VPN business.. and AFAIK they're still in it, at least in a small way... since Sweden decided companies can sue people for copyright infringement AND subpoena ISP data to make the case, almost the same as in the USA and UK. Although I dont' think that it's spread evenly throughout Europe (yet).. our USA copyright rules of law..

Many of these Nordic countries have great internet.. 100/100 symmetric was commonplace (5 years ago) for dirt cheap prices.

While the public at-large is oblivious to the growing law enforcement contingent attacking torrent sites as of late.. recently they shuttered Demonoid (probably for good), which was on the top-10 list of best & most popular torrent sites. This probably means they are on-track for something bigger by the end of the year law-enforcement wise.. and if that's the case, VPNs could see skyrocketing business in the USA, if privacy rights begin to be trashed by law enforcement & isps (moreso than they are today).

There are plenty of legit reasons to buy a VPN from a business called "The Pirate Bay"... just as there are plenty of legit reasons to own an AR-15 assault rifle in Aurora Colorado and 100 round magazine clips. Afterall, don't mess with the NRA and the 2nd amendment of the Constitution.... regardless if Reagan's close inner circle got shot up.. it was god's will.. if you look deep enough, I'm sure the Constitution says something good in support of pirates too.. or at least, the right to buy a VPN and not be under suspicion, but this link to terrorism being bought by the copyright industry is worrysome.. constitution be damned when you create fear in people's minds about terrorism.

Will there be big demand for interent once alot of the piracy is gone? Hmm? Chicken and the Egg Mc Muffin..

Did you just rationalize someone getting shot in the head and use the same argument for pirating content?

Old news. Legal streaming has supplanted P2P traffic for a long time now. The point is people will pay for content if you make it easily available, that's why they pirated, not because they were morally corrupt.

There is disruption going on in cable TV. The old bundling and hard to get scheme is going to come to a tragic end. Once that happens broadcast becomes unicast, and that means big network upgrades to handle it.

The good news is that HSI can be heavily biased for download to add capacity since streaming is normally ingress. P2P killed upload and that is what was really causing HSI non fibre vendors a problem. Also they had to pay transit fees whereas your major streaming vendors have CDN in cloud which costs them nothing to deliver.

I agree with Thistool. Even though I'm more technically knowledgable than many people, you lost me there too. Respectfully what the heck ARE you talking about? I don't mean that sarcastically...it sounds like you KNOW what you're talking about and I'd really like to better understand.
