wrthy2bluvd at All U.S. Internet Providers will be policing downloads by July 12, 2012
Seriously. WHAT THE FLYING FUCK WORLD.
"File-sharers, beware: By July 12, major US Internet service providers (ISPs) will voluntarily begin serving as copyright police for the entertainment industry, according to Cary Sherman, chief executive of the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The so-called “six-strikes” plan is said to be one of the most effective anti-piracy efforts ever established in the US."
The article goes on to give details. After six notices, internet providers will decide to throttle a person's internet speed, or cut it off altogether. I don't know if they will crack down on torrents only, or if it is up to the internet provider. I get the sense it is up to the internet provider. So some people could get away with downloading non torrents, while others might get their internet service cut off. I urge you to click it and read, as we all know people who download.
No more downloading eps of your favorite shows for vidding, gifs, or fanfiction art. No more downloading screencaps possibly. I'm so sorry my friends. I don't even know if BT Guard will work to protect you, but I would google it if I were you. It is a professional service that supposedly can protect you from the invasive eyes of your internet provider.
Just, my friends, please make each other aware. Please be aware of the date JULY 12TH. Mark your calendar and double check with your internet provider by then. If you start receiving notices of downloaded activity, this is why. And your internet service could be throttled or cut off.

Date: 2012-03-22 01:09 pm (UTC)Der Witz ist doch, dass sich die Entertainment Industrie das SELBST eingebrockt hat. Itunes hat als erstes gewerblich Songs und Filme ins Netz gestellt - und da wollen die mir erzählen denen war nicht klar, dass andere auf den Zug aufspringen, OHNE Geld zu verlangen? Wenn digitale Kopien einmal im Umlauf sind, hält sie niemand auf.
Genau DAS ist das Gesetz des Internets: wenn du nicht willst, dass einer deine Daten benutzt, LAD SIE NICHT HOCH.
Ich war jahrelang Modder für diverse Games, ich WEISS das. Und jetzt müssen wir dafür bezahlen, dass DIE doof sind und ihre eigenen TOUs nicht achten?
Natürlich ist mir klar, dass viele FILME ungewollt und abgefilmt im Netz landen. Ich erinner hier nur mal an das Wolverine Debakel - der Film war schon als unfertiges Projekt im Umlauf weil jemand aus deren eigener Produktionsfirma eine Kopie ohne Filmmusik ins Netz gestellt hatte. WTF. IDIOTEN.
Trotzdem bin ich der Meinung, dass diese Flut an File Sharing von ihnen selbst verursacht wurde.
Dass nun mit Privaten Internetleitungen herumgepfuscht werden soll, halte ich für den absoluten Gipfel.
Die USA halten sich für die Krone der Schöpfung und für ein Paradebeispiel an Demokratie - und jetzt das? Wozu müssen wir dann noch in den USA leben?
GEHEN WIR DOCH GLEICH ALLE NACH CHINA.
