Well put...

Quote
If they don't get their way, they go crying to the gov't to have their business models propped up and thrust into the law. So, of course, the "anti-piracy" (i.e., the "we can't adapt so let's drag the whole world backwards") group AFACT has already jumped out and demanded that the Australian government change the law  in response to the ruling.

and...

Quote
Of course, this just shows how far gone AFACT and its members (Hollywood studios mainly) are out of touch with what this ruling is saying. The ruling points out, quite clearly, that the problem isn't with the law and it's not with the technology. Changing the law doesn't fix things. The problem is with how the big movie studios have failed to adapt, and are now blaming totally blameless parties for their own failures. The proper response is: "Okay, it's time to come up with better business models." It's not to ask the government to artificially blame a third party that had nothing to do with the infringement. It's really a rather stunning statement of incompetence that any industry thinks the cure to their own business model failures is to legally make an innocent third party responsible.

Yet another great opportunity to waste money. When ISPs are required to analyze traffic, people move to VPNs and encrypted traffic. And somebody will make it all so easy to get the edge over competitors in the VPN market that even your average Joe knows how to use them. After first litigation few VPN companies are going to get huge amount of new business because of word of mouth and all the viral marketing. Yeah, it's pretty much failed attempt and I really hope that somebody can spell it clear enough to the retards.

I think USA ISP should filter all traffic.
They should make a complete ban on all gambling and porn traffic.
They should especially ban slutty drunk girls who post naked pics of themselves for free on the net.
It is cutting into my profits when they give it away for free It is morally wrong and indecent that they make themselves into sex objects.
