"... and when that happens the rebroadcast of tv shows and signals will become a norm of the internet."
Um. Every tv show in existence is uploaded as a commercial-free mkv/mp4/pickyourformat file within a day of being aired already. Their objections have nothing to do with piracy, and everything to do with losing their insanely profitable rental fee income.
You should scroll down their twitter feed a bit farther. "The average American household loses $700 by delaying TPP by even one year." What a steaming pile of horse shit.
Much like "intellectual property", which is stupid on the face of it, I think he means that it amounts to a contradiction in terms. He is suggesting that you can't appropriate culture. I'm not sure I agree, but I understand what he means.
How much do you want to bet that, like Snowden, he *did* try to go through the proper channels and was either completely ignored or told to shut up and mind his own business?
"So if I cover my ears when you talk, am I engaging in censorship?"
Well, that depends. If I am a millennial, then absolutely, you are engaging in censorship. Not listening to anything I have to say is oppression. Unless I'm in my safe space, in which case you aren't even allowed to be here.
While I agree that the existing "standard" is low, it's pretty arbitrary for the FCC to suddenly decide 25 meg is the standard.
How do you figure? Just because they didn't supply *you* personally with all of the data and/or research they may have used to arrive at that figure, it's arbitrary? You don't think maybe they looked around at, just for instance, the rest of the civilized world? You do know that the US is basically in the stone age of broadband, compared to other first world countries?
Yep, came here to say the same. I disagree with the statement "you can undermine encryption", because once it is undermined, it is no longer encryption.
Wtf, dude. This is not complicated. Of course people can organize to try to enact peaceful political change. BUT. This should not give them the right or power to essentially bypass all campaign funding restrictions by pretending that donated money is coming from a corporation (which is a legal FICTION) versus from powerful rich people. If a person wants to contribute financially to a politician, then they can do so, personally and legally.
Wow man, that's not even apples and oranges. That's like apples and... jenga, or something. Totally unrelated.
Citizens United IS absolutely awful, in basically every way. Corporations are not people, and should not have a "voice", vote, or any other rights of a citizen.
Re: Re: Re: Detecting video in HTTPS is probably impossible
My, aren't you clever. I didn't realize that https meant encrypted until you did all caps bolded text at me. Oh wait, no, I do know that, and I don't have as high an opinion of https "encryption" as I guess you do.
Also, the metadata of the packets is *not* encrypted.
Also, you're the moron if you really think all big ISPs are not doing DPI constantly.
Well, also if the slowing effect also did cause the provider to lower the bitrate, thereby providing a still smooth albeit lower resolution stream. What I've been reading is that the throttling is not having that desired effect.

"Competition will destroy innovation. Also, Google is racist."
Seems legit.
