So the FCC Released their Net Neutrality Rules Today
Here are the FCC rules for Net Neurtrality. PDF format. I was reading through them and found this interesting on page 49: ".. the no-blocking rule adopted today again applies to transmissions of lawful content and does not prevent or restrict a broadband provider from refusing to transmit unlawful material, such as child pornography or copyright-infringing materials." and this on page 133: "For example, the no-blocking rule should not be invoked to protect copyright infringement, which has adverse consequences for the economy, nor should it protect child ornography." and this on 292 "Further, the no-blocking rule only applies to transmissions of lawful content and does not prevent or restrict a broadband provider from refusing to transmit unlawful material, such as child pornography or copyright-infringing materials. We believe that this approach will allow broadband providers to honor their service commitments to their subscribers without requiring a specified level of service to those subscribers or edge providers under the no-blocking rule. We further believe that the separate no-throttling rule provides appropriate protections against harmful conduct that degrades traffic but does not constitute outright blocking." It looks like service providers just need to be given a list of illegal tube/file sharing sites to block or throttle yes? What are your thoughts? |
BUMP for some copyright infringing sites now being legally blocked :thumbsup
|
In theory thats the way it would work.
In reality, it wont. |

How specifically won't it work in reality? |
Porn will be excluded. The is no way the government will enforce porn copyright openly -- it's just not palatable politically IMHO. Only if it is brought as a civil tort lawsuit in the courts ...

"For example, the no-blocking rule should not be invoked to protect copyright infringement, which has adverse consequences for the economy, nor should it protect child ornography." All that needs to be done is approaching service providers with a list of file sharing / tube sites with daily registered DMCA's in the hundreds, many with multiple DMCA's for the same tittle, day after day, and stating that not blocking them is protecting copyright infringement. This new FCC regs mention video content as being the number one reason for bottleneck and minimally phone carriers with subscribers continually watching porn on their phones would be most interested in blocking. Don't you think? |
Porn has legal standing.
But there are political, cultural and public relations issues. The US Government isn't going to proactively support porn copyright. |

Also, this is now about who the service providers can legally block to give them the most bandwidth. In 2008 Comcast Cable was blocked from throttling/blocking file sharing sites, since then other providers have not attempted. As of today, it's legal to block/throttle file sharing/tube sites with illegal content. It's not the government proactively supporting porn copyright content, it's the bandwidth hungry service providers and their greedy corporations. The only power they have now to limit traffic, is deam sites with illegal content as throttled or blocked. Wireless carriers will be so happy about this :thumbsup |
Page 132
2. Transfers of Unlawful Content and Unlawful Transfers of Content section: 304 "... We affirm this tentative conclusion and re-state that open Internet rules do not prohibit broadband providers from making reasonable efforts to address the transfer of unlawful content or unlawful transfers of content to ensure that open Internet rules are not used as a shield to enable unlawful activity or to deter prompt action against such activity. " So broadband providers can now legally take "prompt action" against the transfer of unlawful content. :thumbsup |

There is no tariff regulation in the new regs so the ISPs can charge whatever the market will bear. This is good news for businesses that have high bandwidth because the consumer will pay the bill :0) This is not the beginning of the Internet Police this is about big business. |

Providers can now block illegal sites :thumbsup It's not about internet police. It's about the FCC now having the ability to enforce laws and the service providers legally able to block / throttle Illegal file sharing / tube sites that steal from all affiliates and content producers. |
BUMP for your thoughts :winkwink:
|
You're all safe and satisfied now. The Government is here to fuck you :thumbsup
|
The Government already fucks us. Tax time next month in U.S. , S Corp filings due 16th of this month :disgust
|
In remembrance of the all mighty BUMP!
|
I'm sure this will have a big impact in Russia and Romania. Ivan is terrified.

Good point. I bet they will pretty quickly if the sources of the traffic are large enough. |
Thanks for sharing this, it will be interesting to see how it all pans out :thumbsup
