Re: US Anti-piracy measures to launch Monday

I assumed the choking due to downloading was simply to discourage people from taking up so much bandwidth. Now it seems like they're going to actually monitor what's being downloaded? However well that's going to work... But it still leaves a lot of questions: will they monitor streaming? Can they look into torrented .zip files to make sure it's not a movie/music album? Do they care about foreign media that's not available in the US? Can they follow a download through proxies? What about people who use public WiFi hotspots?

I'm baffled as to how they think this is going to work, but I'm also scared that they're going to err on the side of false positives, which will screw "legitimate" customers over, too.

Hopefully this will crash and burn and they'll pull it, but it's still raising my hackles.

No, they do not care about "foreign media that's not available in the U.S." Because that's just tough noogies for us that not everything is available to our greedy little American hands.
