If you are in the habit of downloading copyrighted media, including software, music and videos, be warned that beginning on Thursday July 12th your ISP will start spying on your activity. The Raw Story reports, “That’s the date when the nation’s largest ISPs will all voluntarily implement a new anti-piracy plan that will engage network operators in the largest digital spying scheme in history, and see some users’ bandwidth completely cut off until they sign an agreement saying they will not download copyrighted materials.”

Of course the usual suspects are behind this plan including the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and the Motion Picture Association of American (MPAA). The plan is backed by all major ISPs (Comcast, Verizon, Time Warner Cable, Cablevision, AT&T) and has the support of the Obama administration.

Penalties for offenders can include reduced bandwidth, access reduced to a limited number of websites, and complete internet service cut-off. ISPs can require customers to attend “an education course” if they want service restored. And of course offenders can be charged with copyright infringement by the studios.

Welcome to the police state, previously home to the ‘land of the free’.

The Pirate Bay to Fly 'Server Drones' to Avoid Law Enforcement

The world's largest and most resilient BitTorrent site plans to redefine "cloud computing" with a plan to move at least some of its servers onto unmanned drones miles above Sweden.

In a Sunday blog post, The Pirate Bay announced new "Low Orbit Server Stations" that will house the site's servers and files on unmanned, GPS-controlled, aircraft drones.


One of the sites administrators, Mr Spock, said with the advent of miniature computers such as the Raspberry Pi, a $35 micro computer the size of a thumb drive that includes a WiFi and SD card slot for storage, the site can take its servers far from any law enforcement.

"We're going to experiment with sending out some small drones that will float some kilometers up in the air," Mr Spock wrote. "This way our machines will have to be shot down with aeroplanes in order to shut down the system. A real act of war."

Well I ain't first class
But I ain't white trash
I'm wild and a little crazy too
I have seen a lot of things in my life time.
That is why I walk the line I walk.

I heard about this and didn't know it was true! LOL that's incredible! I've also heard that some European organization is working on sending a server into outerspace, providing free internet service (likely to avoid copyright BS)

Since I don't download any of those, I'm safe. I've never even visited a torrent site, and don't know how to "torrent".

like I said before, they just need to change the name of the files so it's not easily caught, like using pig latin or some other tactic.

They'll (the people behind this, not the ISPs) will certainly still be doing their entrapment routine too.

If ISPs are on the hook for the copyright infringements their users might do...

You can expect:
-site filtering
-port blocking
-proxy blocking
-packet inspection (and this is a big one that lots of companies already do in order to filter and shape certain kinds of traffic [and people rage about this]), this will be the norm, a basic requirement for all ISPs




changing the name of the file....lolz. Yeah that'll work.

There's some delight in ale and wine,
And some in girls with ankles fine,
But my delight, yes, always mine,
Is to dance with Jak o' the Shadows.

The Oatmeal Butterscotch paired with a Snickerdoodle
turned my cynical penis into a happy vagina
Then after an Oatmeal Cranberry and Double Chocolate,
it made my new vagina spontaneously sing the Trolololo Song in an elevator.

Anybody have a list of ISPs that are implementing this? My google-fu failed me...

I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness,
starving hysterical naked, dragging themselves through the streets,
angelheaded hipsters burning for the ancient heavenly connection
to the starry dynamo in the machinery of night.

How do you think they catch people now? The same way they've been catching them all along. file names and properties.

I was already done with movies. Once my PS3 started cutting off movies, I stopped watching.

Im to the point where I dont download any music anymore. Paid or otherwise...

Between Pandora, XM, and Youtube, I wont spend a cent on music.
