on
The Inquisitr (237) permalink
Comcast is now fighting back against the FCC — and, seemingly, the world — in insisting it has the right to intentionally slow down selected file transfers on its network. The battle began when reporters discovered last year that Comcast was limiting or even blocking BitTorrent transfers by its users. Just weeks ago, FCC commissioners ruled that was a violation of a communication law requiring any ISP to offer unrestricted Internet access. The panel said ...Shared by AJ (154) Drew Olanoff (117)Contribute comment -
Is File Sharing Just More Convenient? [Ask The Readers] (6)
on
Lifehacker (5188) permalink
Less than 24 hours after the premier of popular TV show Prison Break, P2P file sharers downloaded the episode close to one million times—even though you can watch the show for free, online, at Hulu and Fox.com. Why is this? Wired writer Betsy Schiffman argues it's because file-sharing is habitual and convenient. The fact that one million people downloaded the show within 24 hours—a little less than one-sixth of the 6.5 million people who watched ...Contribute comment -

Well, it had to happen - Spore has hit the intertorrents. Pirates are downloading spores through the intricate series of tubes we call the internet. It seems as though some stores in Australia have been selling advance copies of the game a few days before the official release date. Over the weekend, a Warez group called “RELOADED” has managed to crack the copy protection on the game and now it is being downloaded by hundreds ...Contribute comment -

louisgray.com (175) permalink
Over the last week, there was a lot of talk around Comcast instituting a 250 gigabyte cap on your downloads for a 30-day period. The Web's collective opinion has always tended to believe in unmetered, unlimited access to just about anything, without censorship, so the news of restrictions had many up in arms. But the truth is, you'd have to really go out of your way to reach the cap, and be downloading around the ...Shared by carmilevy (18) Drew Olanoff (117) louisgray (111) Mike F (355) Riaz (21) Rick Turoczy (62) Rob (105) Robert Scoble (61)Contribute comment -

La décision de Comcast de limiter l’usage de la bande passante mensuellement à 250GB a été décrite par beaucoup comme la fin de l’internet actuel.
