Meet cGrid, the real-time P2P punisher

[GrayFox]

It's a program that monitors college networks for piracy at the data packet level. If it doesn't like what you're doing, then it just kicks you off the network. And it can create reports of everything you download/upload. It can even kick you off and log the action of sending a friend a song over AIM.
Evil.

The universities should tell the RIAA & MPAA assholes to fuck themselves... but they probably won't. And I can just imagine all the legitimate things it will probably block.

You watching something on YouTube? Well CBS and others says that is illegal...

BLOCKED!

Seriously, how far will the assholes at the MPAA and RIAA go until the general public grows balls and stops them from doing these things?

 

[GrayFox]

Hopefully it won't be along. But I know it can never be soon enough.
I just hope ISPs don't start trying to include this crap on their servers to stop people from doing things.

Isn't Comcast already monitoring if people Pirate software? And AOL/Time Warner is starting to do that crap already...

AT&T is probably going to start, Earthlink..which I believe is the Dial Up of Comcast will also start soon... Verizon and other Telecos will also start since/if Net Neutrality will/ is going to pass.

If they start doing that, I might as well just not even bother using the internet anymore.

AAhg, they can never stop everyone. Pretty soon there will be intelligent hackers out there that make it available again then new blocks will be set and ect. They can really never stop us.

 

[GrayFox]

Yeah, that's the truth. Thankfully there will always be some way around it.
