Tygerstrike...........

You know what, I don't agree with Piracy but then again I don't agree at all with folks that tell other people to get the hell out of the country because their ideas on U.S. Society don't match up. Like "Love it or Leave it" Makes Me Wanna PUKE !!!! Nationalism has been responsible for more deaths than freaking Hitler ! Nothing wrong with Capitalism..... either......... but unfortunately, our much vaunted Capitalist Society is as corrupted as a 6th day corpse in mid July in a Maryland apartment.... Now I apologize to all you folks for getting way off subject, but in my moment here, I figured if some folks can exchange canister rounds over religion, I could load up on something too !!!!

Hardly. I stream 3d movies via Vudu through my 3dtv, VERY high bandwidth involved. HD movies streamed legally through netflix, blockbuster, vudu, hulu, etc will also eat quite a bit of bandwidth. Bandwidth caps and punishing users for using their 'high speed internet' for what it's there for is going to lead to a lot of people ditching their bigger ISP's and looking into other sources. This is a bold and quite moronic move. I have 3 unlocked wireless sources with decent strength I can surf on at my place... and the way this all looks, I surf worry free regardless of what I do (mind you I stick to the legal side of streaming/DLing, but not the point.)

high traffic volume also means nothing.

I'm an open source software developer who is involved with several software projects on a voluntary basis, aswell as also developing software as a job to the pay the bills.

as such my average monthly download is around 180Gb & upload around 30GB.

simply basing on traffic volume will punish a lot of developers!

@Klip
All the posters keep talking about how they justify theft. Here in America you get a slap on the wrist. In other contries they take your hand. I would say Capitalism in and of itself is a very fair and balanced system, where even the little guy has a chance to make it big. In Theory. It falls down to personal Honor. What do you do when the only person watching you is you. Its more then theft of goods and services. Its theft of our moral fiber. We as a nation have come to accept stealing as a no big thing.
I always point it back to role reversal. What if you were the person who was being stolen from. What if it was your product other ppl were stealing? How would you feel?
Now apply that logic to yourself and your actions. People refuse to see anyside of any issue that doesnt involve them getting something out of it.

OMG you ppl act as if you have any rights on the internet. You have the same expectation of privacy on the internet as you have on a cellphone. NONE! You have to go through an ISP or in the case of a cellphone a provider. They have been snooping your info for years. The only right you have is to annonimity to the general web browsing public. You had to register your name and address as well as any information they require with a ISP.
Think on this......Eventually all that lovely information you have registerd with the ISp will come back on you. Its called being BlackBalled. SO they determine you are a offender to their new policy. They then start blocking you from having your own internet provider. Eventually some of the smarter sheep will try and get a family member or freind to setup the web for them. And in the usual fashion, they will ruin that family members or freinds ability to get internet.

Someone's been indoctrinated.

What is most funny to me is that prohibited are not those who upload and transmit pirate content, but those who download. It's like punishing drug addicts instead of drug dealers.

lol both are punished if caught.. lol

lol it wont stop anything there are programs that change your ip address every hour or time you want it to change. ppl who are against pirating fail because when there's a will there's a way. example war on drugs and gangs they didn't go down they went up. so most likely ppl will pirate more use programs that block peeping or the program that changes ip. lol it will fail.
