Is this the end of illegal torrents as we know it ?
All, There is a new Stop Online Piracy Act being discussed in the US Congress. The law would not only require ISPs to remove websites from the global network at the request of the government or the courts (by blocking any requests to the central domain-name system that directs internet traffic), but would also be forced to monitor their users’ behavior in order to police acts of copyright infringement. Providers who do not comply with these requests and requirements would be subject to sanctions. So does this mean that the days for looking and downloading free torrents are almost over ?

The US Media industry is trying to change the habits of consumers. Media consumption habits have changed. Syndication is a dead model. Why wait 3 years for an ad filled rendition of Breaking Bad, while you can watch it ad free the very next day? They should move to online rental models for series etc, makes more sense, this will greatly cut down on piracy, much as iTunes cut down (greatly) music piracy. At the time, consumers would be forced to buy one album whilst they only care for one song in the album. On Mon, Oct 31, 2011 at 8:02 PM, Eric Mugo <kabugum@gmail.com> wrote:
