ISPs testing technology to intercept illegal music downloads

The only thing I have to say to that is good luck.When it comes to computers, and hackers, there is no stopping people if they want to get something online.There are a ton of programs that can stop this kind of thing already, let alone when they try this crap later on.My only advice to give to those trying to stop illegal downloading is...give up.You've already lost, and you'll keep losing with all the great hackers and program designers out there making it safe for illegal downloaders.

Legit music artists make the most of their money performing live.

The world-renouned jazz organist Joey DeFrancesco performs 200 days a year.


Fakes make the most of their money selling albums.

I will pay 50 dollars to watch a LIVE performance. I will not pay a dime for a pre-recorded work.

dont get mad coz your music is **** and you dont make enough money from normal record deals and sales... come on everyone that has a computer and likes music has probly download at least 1 track "illegaly" i think this idea is good and bad.. good because the music/movie/game indrusty will make more money to make more stuff but really.. they dont make enough money already? there is plenty of people that buy the cd or the game or the movie for the soul purpose of the cover/case and collecting it for memory purposes and such.. Bermeister is just helping the ISPs get your hard earned dollar after trying to save you from them.. IMO he is a sellout... enough rabbling off topic to the fact that this clown probaly is useless

And this is their sales blurb. Your activities will be logged and reported to the police. Recent changes to the TIA will make it legal to intercept your downloads too.

It is quite sad that people believe they own music that is not theirs.... You are just common thieves. So what if the music industry makes money and that upsets you, isnt that why they are in business? To make money?
If you think "things" should be free go and ask your local car dealer for their latest and greatest vehicle for free and see what happens.... Oh but music is different!! You all make me laugh. A system will come along and knock you all out because there is TOO MUCH MONEY AT STAKE! The governments cannot and will not condone illegal activity! Dont forget they make money from taxes and they ALSO miss out when you steal ....

So.. Steal now for your time is running short.

Finally... a post from a 'guest' that actually makes sense!
I guess all guests aren't the same after all...
Thanks for your input

"He Who Steals My Purse Steals Trash"

I heard that a long, long time ago.

P2P seems to be the most prevalent venue for illegal downloads. P2P has pretty much become a "poison apple" given the frequency and severity of infections contracted by participating in P2P.

So, then it seems that websites such as Techspot are "obligated" to assist with the removal of said infections.

So relax, we have nothing better to do than help with the removal of these infections. After all, illegal downloaders are "entitled" to free assistance, along with the "entitlement" to free music.

Anyway, I guess I'm really getting old since most of today's music seems like a bunch of atonal noise and foul language, generated by a pack of rude and classless people. It doesn't seem worth stealing actually.

As a frame of reference, I bought Taylor Swift's CD, but I wouldn't be caught dead listening to Kanye West, let alone illegally downloading it, and that's even if he paid me.
