Welp, looks like I better start downloading the entire internet.

>>132770825
Well if they can't force the law to back them then they will just by pass the law and do what they want.

What are people doing to do about it? Stop them?

Time again and Deus Ex has predicted the future.

>Comcast, Cablevision, Verizon, Time Warner Cable and other bandwidth providers announced that they had agreed to adopt policies designed to discourage customers from illegally downloading music, movies and software. Since then, the ISPs have been very quiet about their antipiracy measures.

If Time Warner wants my money, then they better play nice, because there are plenty of other ISP's out there.

>SOPA doesn't go through
>enforce the policies anyway

how do i get music, games or movies now?
=(

isn't this that law whereby ISPs continue doing exactly the same thing they've already been doing?

On that day I will be downloading my entire steam library, deleting it, and downloading it again ad infinitum. They'll get bored of scanning my downloads pretty fast.

I think Google does some fast internet service too...of course they will surely look and save where you go.

What are they going to do? Start tracking public seeders? FHAHAHAHAHA

OLD MEN

The war on piracy is about as effective as the war on drugs.

I remember seeing some video on youtube claiming that CNET was part of the US gov't somehow. I'm starting to believe that crazy conspiracy nut now. I don't see why CNET would be the ones to reveal this first.

Do they even have the authority to do this shit?

If you are going to pay for piracy do it right.

It's time.

>start policing copyright
there goes the entire internet

> implying piracy doesn't ALWAYS find a way
piracy has been around since the dawn of time and will continue to be around

>>132772226
The corporations are more powerful than the government. That isn't just a scare tactic in distopian games. It's actually been like that for a long time.

Didn't they say they were going to do this a year ago?

Also, when I was on Verizon, I already got "threats" to cancel my internet for sharing a bunch of files.

>change ISPs
>all is well in the world

I give it a month before Canadian ISP's announce this same crap.

"The ISPs can waive the mitigation measure if they choose and not one of the service providers has agreed to permanently terminate service. "

this basically means nothing. no sane ISP is going to be dropping customers for pirating, unless forced to by law. they may send a few more notices, or as the article stated cut your download speed for a while, but none of them will drop customers over it.

all this is is a show of good will towards the RIAA MPAA etc by ISPs, but that good will ends if it costs them customers

>>132772618

Good thing I don't use any of those.
It's still faggotry of the highest order and copyright law is still unconstitutional, though.

SO what?

I use private trackers.

It's funny because July 12th is my birthday.

>>132772807

That's the one good thing about corporations, innit?

They'll work together RIGHT UP to the point one of them starts being adversely affected by the teamwork. Then they say, "Right, then, well, it's been fun, but fuck you to hell."

In some ways the consumer still wins. In small, small ways.

>>132772345
Would you mind explaining to us plebs about usenet? Which service do we buy? What are the most popular ones?

Would it be safe to download things (like music from mediafire) through tor? or is that not how it works?

>>132773052
That doesn't mean anything.

Someone tell me what this means? Does it only affect pirates? If so, why the fuck should I care that those leeching scumbags don't get to have things handed to them for free that everyone else pays for to support the industry?

America

>>132773195

DDL isn't safe at all, even compared to bittorrent.

Your ISP sees exactly what you download when you DDL, if you torrent and have a VPN or plain old encryption set in your torrent client they can't see what you're downloading.

>>132773303

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Usenet in no way provides internet connection, no?

So you'd still need an ISP.

>>132773212

I got astraweb 11 a month unlimited speed and a ssl connection which means its encrypted and my isp cant see what the fuck im doing.

I still have to pay for internet but I can go on usenet servers and download shit. Google it and read. Astraweb doesnt keep records of what I do and no one can see the download so im safe.

i hear uploading is less safe but theres no equivilent to seeding so itll only be if you post an original.

>>132773451
So business as usually.

SOPA was intended to allow them to cut off access through American ISPs to foreign websites that infringe copyrights. It had absolutely nothing to do with targeting individuals.

>not just driving down to your local mcdonalds, and using their wifi to pirate everything
seriously? Just use public internet sources. what are they going to do? sue mcdonalds?

>>132773363
I find that hard to believe because comcast hasn't said shit. And even if it were, downloading is perfectly legal, uploading isn't. I'm not uploading jack shit for anybody.

Yahoo superior race reporting in.

>mfw I've been a buyfag for a few years now
Nothing against pirates, I just see no economic value in taking it for free.

Well, dicks. Now I have to download everything I was putting off.

>murrika

Pick one

Seriously though ameribros, don't take this shit.

>>132773505
Thanks for not being a dick. I'll check it out.

>>132773657

it's because they don't care, ISPs don't do shit about piracy and won't fork over IPs or personal information unless another big corp is threatening to sue

>>132771805
yeah that shit's impossible to police properly.
That's the one reason I think this will fail.
Too many people pirate.
We're pretty much addicted to it at this stage.
People won't stop and they can't punish everyone.

Ontop of that you're correct they can't distinguish what's illegal or not all to easily.
I downloaded The Witcher 2 from Bitgamer 2 after I had already bought it so I could play it during the 2 days before it was delivered.
My thoughts are that it'll just be a stricter form of what they mainly do now.
They'll only really be on the lookout for big name recent movies and albums that they can confirm are definitely infringing on copyright and deal with them.

>>132773556
For 30 bucks

>inb4 nothing happens
Good luck getting past Congress on that one

>>132773657
Comcast doesn't care. Sometimes my connection gets throttled when torrenting but they have never done anything beyond that.

>>132771743
Agreed with this. Like >>132772912 and >>132772192 Cox is my ISP.

I don't really torrent or download much of anything (paying for media, what a novel fucking concept), but I do have a friend who was sent an email from Cox, saying that they had monitored her torrenting movies. I'm not really sure what the consequences would have been then, since then, or will be with this new bit of corporate policy.

>>132773212

>>132773760

You need to google its a bit of work if you go easy mode you can download SABnzbd and join nzb.su and itll be almost like torrenting. Theres more thing you can do but nothing this easy so just start here.

Also fuck the 15 a month for astraweb they advertise google 11 a month astraweb and youll find the deal. Also you can buy a flat package like so many gigs which is good for testing if you dont wanna drop the whole 11 for a month.

Warning though itll max your download speed so set a limit if other peeps on your internet.

>>132773818
>that fucking upload

>>132772593
That's a good point. Will this effect seedbox users? If I have to pay to pirate I'd much rather have a seedbox than usenet.
