AT&T to block pirated content
 

Just saw this story and thought it was kind of interesting.

Story

checking it out... thanks

Perhaps it could be a good solution.

Very interesting...that's some good news !

I thought this might be some good news on the subject, for a change. ;)

Great find Pammie!

Thanks this could be a good thing.

While I think, on paper, it's a nice idea.

Who's going to police the police?

:2 cents:

Good news if they can pull it off but I really don't see how they will be able to do it. People will find a way to circumvent it lol.

it's a start. at least someone is trying to do something about it.

The techies will but you would get rid of alot of the nontechies.

Right, it's about the message. If a really big company like AT&T steps up, many hosts and upstream providers will think twice if they want to do business with torrent sites, filehosts and other shady customers...

They will be lowering their overhead and raising their profit by legal content distribution increasing.

I'm wondering if they will be open to legal action if they only choose to block some copyright content from being transferred though.

Encryption will also make it impossible to know what's copyright content...
