Folks, FYI and to repeat, it’s not about the LOST episodes themselves. Those are completely free on the ABC website, it’s about someone being ignorant of their 3g subscription plan…

Dude, you HAVE to keep complaining, that is why you have much better services over there…

She could have been watching them on free online TV sites, such as justin.tv, which isn’t exactly a copyright violation.

I don’t think this article is applicable for this site.
* For one thing, the issue is not necessarily P2P downloading – it might have been, but it could have been through iTunes; either way, it doesn’t say.
* Secondly, this is about excess through ISP’s – it’s not a copyright issue.

Wow, what the HELL is up with your ISPs in Europe?

I thought my fellow NATO members were for embracing freedom. We always hear how “European” ideas are always better.

I will never complain about Comcast every AGAIN, or T-Mobile.

PS I hope the Spaniard sues for decremental damages of character. Or demands compensation for the political crisis this outrage has cost him and his daughters reputation. Its outrageous for a shitty TV show to possibly throw him out. I hate ABC so…

I am so glad that my 3G operator will throttle but not bill excessive bandwidth use.

But I never brought 3G-filesharing to work. Symtorrent is trying to connect all the time but everytime it gets a connect, it is dropping the peer a second later.

Perhaps I should try my laptop instead of my Nokia phone for p2p ;-)
