Verizon’s 'Six Strikes' anti-piracy policy unearthed

Lolwut. Do you even know what a torrent is, let alone P2P protocol? Have a read of this and if it's still unclear why P2P is awesome, come back here.

What I find funny is that ppl continue to pirate despite the legal ramifications. Heres a bit of an incidient that happend with me. I found out that the Cellphone/ISP companies were going to instigate the 6 strikes law. I was discussing this with a friend of mine who pirated notoriously. I explained that pirating was go the way of the DoDo because MPAA/RIAA really wanted to crack down on piracy. He looked at the articles and came to the conclusion that pirating wasnt going to be worth it anymore. Moral of the story: Be proactive and talk to your friends about this. One bit of constructive advice might save your friend a lawsuit or jailtime.

No matter how you look at it legal or piracy it's still a full force invasion of privacy. The methods to track this type of traffic would involve packet sniffers. This could expose sensitive material which we know Verizon has been known to sell in the past.
