Obama Contemplating Three-Strikes Piracy Law

[Guest]

What?!? The movie studios are making more money than ever. People are pirating more than ever. Seems like pirating is a good business model. F Tards, Murdock, isn't he about to croke anyway? Someone should give him a stolen tube of pringles. Lets see, the wii and 360 are the most hacked of the 2 consoles and the games are pirated up the yang, but they outsell PS3 by far with less powerful machines. Give me a break. If more people get cut off from the internet they will not only kill the entertainment biz but they will hinder the ability of people to have their freedom to communicate with the world. Obama, please don't be stupid. Focus on health care and this sh=t economy, not people who want to watch episodes of Tru Blood, listen to the latest Muze track, or play Mario Galaxy.

You said "their" twice.
It's "too lazy" not "to lazy."

LOL! I love it. "I'M NOT GONNA USE YOUR SERVICE IF YOU DISCONNECT ME! I SWEAR! YOU'VE LOST A CUSTOMER FOR LIFE!!" ISP: LOL

[citation][nom]gnice3d[/nom]Umm .. So the federal government is waiving our constitutional right of due process regarding illegal search and seizure? How are ISP's to know what data is in those packets unless they are monitoring them without probably cause?This is just step one towards the government monitoring ALL of our internet activities. Mark my words, people.[/citation]I dare you to take this non-sense to court.

[citation][nom]Princeofdreams[/nom]And how do they enforce this so called ban? By name, by address? Just by the ISP?If its the ISP what prevents the person going with some other telephone company, if its by name does the wife or husband just move the internet into their name? If it is by address what happens when you move to somewhere where the internet has been blocked?Seems to me that this is just another typical knee jerk reaction and not thought through, and how does this prevent pirates in China or India? (the largest downloads)The entertainment industry needs a good bitch slapping and being brought down to earth, people are sick of them making billions for essentially doing nothing, next they will want a royalty payment from me for singing a song in my head....[/citation]

Isn't private encryption in the US illegal? So if you were caught, instead of the FCC on your *ss you'd have the FBI or some equally intimidating government force, at least, that is what I have heard.

Also, movie makers should just say "**** it" and add advertisements to movies and make it available for public download, making advertisers pay for how often the movie gets downloaded and stuff. That would keep the big studios receiving revenue while not pissing off every average Joe across the globe.

[citation][nom]TommySch[/nom]"It's a basic condition for investmentand economic growth and there should be the same level of property rights whether it's a house or a movie."How about you dont invest then...Anyway, that will push the idea of encrypting everything that pass by the ISP. SSH everything...The industry will never learn, they created the whole torrent phenomenon by killing Napster. I hope things go from bad to worst for them.[/citation]I hope "The Industry" requires people to get special licenses to purchase their content so you can't get your dirty hands on it. Why don't you create something you worked your a$$ off on, then upload it to your local torrent site.

[citation][nom]noodlegts[/nom]I'm all for it. If you don't pirate (which you shouldn't) then there is no problem.The only people who this affects are pirates, and I'm of the opinion that they should go to jail, because piracy IS a crime.[/citation]

they are the same people who turn a project into shit with DRM. Pirated products have better customer service

Ha what a joke, exactly why I got into the security business. Corporations keep making billions while us consumers get shafted every time in a means to get executive pockets fatter.

Currently, encryption on Utorrent is only Portocol Encryption. It doesn't fully encapsulate the packets as the number of sessions,ip addresses should still be visible. As for the type of encryption I am not sure but it may also be susceptible to being cracked which would result in the associated protocols being used to be visible.

If this "3 strike law" is implemented I say Uttorent/Azereus/BitTorrent start offering full packet encapsulation with 3des /AES128 at the cost of a slight download speed degradation. Secure access sites for torrent trackers where users log on via SSL VPNs and peer2peer communication is fully tunneled via VPNs,SSL VPNs,Dynamic IPSec VPNs with pre shared keys (tracker automatically sets a key and emails it to the users) 3Des/AES128 encryption and MD5 or SHA1 hashes.

Where trackers can not only act as a tracker server but also NAT all peer IP addresses so that no government authorities can log onto the VPNs and catch IP addresses.

I want to see more emphasis on peer security in future patches for BitTorrent/Utorrent and others.

Then the government can take their laws and shove it where the sun don't shine.

When I was a kid I could listen to music for free on the radio. I could also record the music with absolutely no problems of any kind. We didn't need the Internet to do that. What went wrong?

Proxy chain + MAC spoofing

[citation][nom]icemunk[/nom]We're turning into an authoritarian style of Government.. sad to see people just rolling over and letting stuff like this happen all the time. Rights are disappearing day by day, as we cede control to the corporatocracy.[/citation]

Since when is internet access a right?

Not saying I agree with the ideas in the article, but privately offered services are not a "right", they're a priveledge. Unless internet access is covered within the Bill of Rights, it is not one.

 

[datawrecker]

Soooo, who get's blamed when someone breaks into your wireless and starts pirating crap?

You for providing the bandwidth for the download or the pirate acquiring the data? Remember, you don't actually have to be in possesion of the data to be accused of piracy, you just have to provide the means to do it. Is this what it's coming to?

 

[michaelahess]

My ISP already does this.

If private encryption is illegal, why is hard drive encryption included in every copy of of Windows 7 Ultimate(a consumer oriented operating system)?

What do you expect from a Socialist, Dictator wannabe, peoples right to fair due process. Bah, look at the IRS, due process, LOL.

I don't think so. If so Apple is ading and abeading because their is a feature under security called file vault that will encrypt your entir home folder. Linux will do the same at installation, up to your entire drive.

 

[tommysch]

[citation][nom]cbrei10213[/nom]Really... its illegal to pirate... and your gonna complain about a plan to try to stop piracy... dont break the law.[/citation]

Change the law. If you think piracy will kill your business model, change it.
