All those "content providers/creators" should consider spending their money on making their products available cheaper, conveniently and in a SINGLE DAMN VENUE online or otherwise and they would have far less issues with piracy, not to mention issues with regions and when and how things may be released.

They created all these problems themselves in all reality.

Give people an incentive, OTHER than punitive measures, to pay for their products and just maybe they could make infinitely more money on their hard work.

EVERYONE!! sign the petition to stop this!!!!!

Does this affect Canada, or is it US only?

Say goodbye to internet freedom. The government takes control of something it doesnt even own.

Well, Anonymous? What are you waiting for? Be useful and go f*** that system up. Unlike some other recent ventures, this one would be a no brainer.

Time to get the Supreme court involved, too.

no way to block this from our end?

in theory, protecting copyright is good, but the trouble is, the rights holders are a little, let's be diplomatic and say, overzealous in going after what they call copyright theft.

look at how many times they get legitimate youtube channels taken down, when what they're doing is 100% legal.
just look at Littlekruiboh, maker the the Yugi abridged series.

when some music publisher shut down some guys channel because he has the same name of one of their artists you know they're overstepping their legal rights.

these publisher would like to be able to just take away you net access without any proof or verification of your supposed crimes.

just think how much of your life these days is carried out online.
even the UN recognises how important the net is these days.

they should ban these publishers that make false copyright claims, they'd check their bloody facts then wouldn't they.

if your gona pirate you shouldn't be living in the USA in the first place
its a country for the rich to get richer only.

what if someone steals my wifi signal?

This information has not even been advertised to their customers, I knew nothing about this and i'm sure 99.9% of others do not as well. The only reason I know anything about this is because I check n4g/techspy.

This is way over the line, everything we do is being monitored, I mean I knew it was. The thing is I never agreed to knowingly let someone shift through my browsing practices.

Mind you, I never download anything pirated, I do not even use p2p software.

This is outrageous.

Visit this take the two seconds to stop this outrageous practice.

I agree with this but I would rather have things like this in place to monitor what people are doing on the web to catch Pedo's, Rapist's, Bully's, Terrorist's and more before they crack down on people downloading a film that has made more money then any other film this year.

If film company's put there head together like the music industry has and offer all films on services like Netflix ext instead of making films exclusive to one or another then more people would look at services like this.

well isn't this interesting

Something else is going here, I'm getting a bad feeling that this is just a smoke screen.

Goodbye internet freedom in the states, all those billionaires are crying that they might be forced to downgrade their luxuries from private flights to first class.

If you're all pirating content then whats the point of making content in the first place if its all going to be pirated?? Putting movies/music on netflix/itunes requires contracts and lots of money. Why cant content creators do what they want with their IPs without you stealing and not paying for their creations?

Ill just get my movies from the Mexican near the Laundromat their HD quality on DVD and only $5 :)

Got Charter. Aint even mad.
