No more suing people for sharing music. They are going to work with the Internet Service Providers.

Finally some common sense... This is better for the pirates because they will just start encrypting the files so they don't look anything like an MP3 etc. when downloading/uploading... Thus keeping music-sharing going with no lawsuits... YAY!
Great I will start downloading again.
Besides I no longer get my music from P2P networks where it has to pass through a server first. I get mine directly from other sources so that their is no "Logging" going on. But now with ISP's sniffing what you're downloading I will be encrypting them.
News groups I've always heard work well also,but I've never understood how they work
IRC is where it's at. You should see the stuff I can find on these IRC Channels. Now I know where all the old B.B.S's went! Underground baby, underground!!!
what is IRC?
Internet Relay Chat: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IRC
IRC = Internet Relay Chat. You can download MIRC-32 (IRC Software) for free. You install and then you search the net for "#CHANNELS". You then connect to these channels in IRC and you can download stuff from servers or people chatting using MIRC. It's a great way to send stuff back and forth, because the connection is you and the other person directly. No P2P serving.
Thanks all.
I discovered that Opera has a built in IRC client. Now to figure out what to do with it.

Other than chatting with people you don't know and file sharing, what use does IRC serve?
Verizon does not throttle traffic whatsoever.
AT&T does to an extent.
Comcast/Cox Communications are horrible.
I don't know about anything else. DSLReports.com can tell you more about your ISP and it's policies regarding throttling.

Charter Cable keeps NNTP downloads throttled down to 16Kbits. Bleccch. I'm soooo glad we're not with them. That was the worst month of my online life.
