No, seriously, it looks basically about SHARING on torrents and other p2p only and just mainstream movies and music.



I pretty much get my mainstream music from purchase on itunes or amazon. Or I watch youtube music videos or listen to internet radio. I don't even have much interest in watching movies these days. Only clips from youtube or other sources and not p2p. (And there are other sources than sharing via p2p, right peoples?)

Hell, half of Comcast's reason for even existing in the late 90's was "AOL sucks balls".

So true. But would smaller ISP's be fast? I don't think so. Oh well.
