Does that also mean everyone who downloads free porn from tubes?

On the bright side, a lot of internet bandwidth will be freed up.

I predict a sharp increase in the usage of VPNs and Tor

Same thing is about to happen in the UK

Worked really well in France. Oh hang on, no it didn't it increased piracy.

Look at the other articles from those "Digital Trends" douches. They seem to be cheap RIAA shills masquerading as journalists.

I don't think they are reliable news source, and since Reddit is not freaking out I would assume there's not much to the story.

Cnet ok for you?

Incidentally

Nothing new that they must comply with existing laws. New thing is the "strike model".

The new part is that the ISPs will now be spying on what every citizen in America does on the internet, and keeping logs of that.

And then also, as you say, the proven to increase piracy method of 3 strikes.

Gotta love your freedom, right?

how did this increase piracy in france? just curious....

Of course it didn't, he's just spilling random pro-piracy nonsense. In fact legit music and video sales increased in France:

more and more things are gaining momentum to insert their huge dicks in to pirate profits ass...ACTA/SOPA/PIPA and now this...seems every month there is something new...it will be nice to see the pirates suffer...

does it hide bandwidth?

?Each ISP has to develop their infrastructure for automating the system,?

and bandwidth will be easiest to monitor...

So when you keep logs on your server for security and statistical purposes, means you are spying? Not.
There is a difference between looking into history logs on requests vs watching over every shoulder live. Been done already for many years in Europe.

Here is an article which is more detailed about it:

I've read about americans getting such warnings for years now, so there must be some kind of logs in place by the ISP already. Also for other criminal investigations, don't you think?

Good. About time.
