Yea i read that on digg last night. Sad day in hell when our ISP will block sites they feel we shouldnt be allowed on. Sad sad day for us torrenters.

FCC needs to be disbanded.

This is quite a mess. Do we went the ISP to continue to "run the show", which will eventually lead to them blocking certain sites etc...or do we want the government to regulate it? Right now the FCC says that its all for an open internet, which is good, but when I think of government regulated broadband, I think of China.

+1. Its hard to decide whats better for us. Esp knowing the background of the FCC, im not sure if i want them or not. Rock and hard place.

We are fucked either way.

Fuck torrents. They better not start throttling youtube and other random web based video streaming websites I look at weekly. That will make me enraged if my video takes twice or more to load.
