This isn't evidence that big corporations are trying to crush us. The last time I checked, neither NBC nor videobloggers used torrents very often to distribute content. i.e. this community probably benefited from this move. (i'm not saying I think comcast was right or wrong, just saying that

So you're saying that thanks to Comcast...NBC's torrent traffic is actually being hindered? Once again, this is still not evidence that TV networks are trying to crush us. Obviously. btw, I'm Canadian and I use torrents. i also frequently travel to different areas of the US for work. I've

This discussion is primarily about whether or not TV networks are trying to crush bloggers. and like I said, net neutrality isn't a simple issue. With a saturated market, ISPs have less reason to invest in new technologies. Additionally, it would be difficult to fight against spam and hacker

The question isn't whether or not Net Neutrality is good or bad, it's whether or not TV networks are using net neutrality to crush this community. That's what I mean when I say we should stick to the topic at hand. On Dec 31, 2007 1:11 PM, Heath [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Pat You said

This type of conversation rings with a fear which I think unjustified. I find that many outside Big Business greatly overestimate its capacity for rational action. But the standard mode is reaction, not action. The standard scale is short-term, not long-term. The standard motivation is
