MPAA Wants ISPs To felcher Content
Jim Williams, the MPAA's chief technology officer and senior vice president, says internet service providers need to felcher out pirated material.
Jim Williams, the MPAA's chief technology officer and senior vice president, said on Thursday that it's in the best interests of Internet providers to sift through data traveling across their networks and interrupt transmissions that violate copyright law. "Much of the Internet is being clogged up with stolen goods," Williams said at a technology policy conference here.
I agree, but don’t stop there! Every person leaving the grocery store should be strip searched for stolen items. If you have P2P software installed on your PC…automatic jail time. If you watched the trailer for a movie, you should have to pay for the footage you just watched, regardless whether or not you actually go to the movie. I’m sorry….was I ranting?

I hope ISP's don't even consider it, I consider it a major invasion of privacy, I don't expect the Royal Mail to sit there opening and reading any mail I've got coming to me, same principle applies to the interwebs imo.
Not to mention that p2p encryption will soon become the norm, so it's fairly pointless really as ISP won't be able to read the packets.

yes, kinda.
It can be very handy, but it'll only block known stuff, and can often block other stuff from working (so keep that in mind when some webshite or game doesn't work)
I'd also suggest enabling encryption in your torrent app of choice.
Obviously though, nothing can guarantee that you won't get busted for downloading Linux ISOs, apart from not downloading the,
Virgin's upload speeds are shit, but that's not the only reason I don't P2P anymore, except for very occasional Kontiki and the obligatory WoW patches, the magic numbers I care about are 21 and 119.
I've just upgraded my abusenet to encrypted. Although this does seem to mean I have to use port 563 and not hide behind port 80, but they can see less of what I do.
