Completamente de acuerdo. Si dejamos que los ISP nos digan que cosa es o no es SPAM/P0RN/BUENO/MALO para nuestra navegacion, acabaremos teniendo una internet con programas (malos) de television.
Que los ISP no nos molesten, que ya nos encargaremos nosotros de bloquear lo que NO necesitemos.
Saludos desde Espa~a. Y feliz 2004! | |

| I agree, it is the responsibility of the user to audit there own activity. In reality, however, this is easier said than done. Manufacturers and ISP's are taking the heat for these problems because customers bitch when their computer don't work. When someone has installed New.net (DNS hijacker / new DNS top level domains), they usually first call Dell and bitch they can't get on the 'net. Dell will spend 10 minutes showing them the computer is OK for everything else, and pass the buck onto the ISP. The ISP then gets the grief, because the customer says these problems didn't start happening until they started using the ISP's service.
So, at the end of the day, the customer believes the Dell machine and ISP are crap. And next time, they will avoid these companies at all costs. Manufacturers and ISP's recognize that spyware/adware/crapware is costing them their reputations, even though it's not even remotely their fault.
These companies are not really "scared" of spyware, they want to kill it as much as we do. The problem is that in the United States distributing information that can clean up bullsh!t is sometimes illegal. What a country...
