Who here thinks that this will actually work? It doesn’t make sense to me because it seems that instead of just the music industry losing money, the ISP’s will too.

yea this is definately not gonna work. i mean it’s next to impossible for them to actually moniter all p2p sharing networks, the worst that’ll happen is that a few people who are hosting massive amounts of illegal content will get a slower connection. casual limewire users will probably not notice anything at all

Not the point. They want to deter the average user, and they’ll be monitoring all the average networks.

And all they have to do is throttle encrypted traffic.

They’re paying the ISPs to do this. Furthermore, there won’t usually be a competing ISP to switch to when you get pissed off about it, because their idea is to go after the majority of ISPs.

The possibility to remain as highly profitable as they are now is all they’re looking for here. It’s not a long-term solution, it’s just another band-aid like the sue-’em-all campaign.

Could work -- maybe if singers got 30,000 / year like the rest of us than we’d be more apt to pay for the CD, which in turn would be cheap as hell.
