These companies are all filled with liars and thieves, more power to the pirates.

Do you know if this also effects Canadian ISPs? I know AT&T owns Rogers and I think Bell. I'm sure something similar will happen in Canada soon too.

Oh and it was the old ladies fault, she is responsible for what happens on her network.

So what he is saying is.. if someone were to get 6 strikes, they could just set their wireless to being unsecure, pleed ignorance, and blame it on a neighbor jacking into it? lol

Luckily I don't have to worry about any of this at all where I live >:)

But if anyone wants to truly stop me from downloading, they should start making movies and such that are actually worth paying for!

Basically everything i've seen over the past 5-10 years has been total money grubbing hollywood garbage, and the few that weren't trash got my money after seeing it was actually worth supporting.
