I got a letter the other day from my ISP provider stating that i had a long list of copyright downloads. now i have downloaded stuff before but never by this isp and that was years ago. the funny thing is not only had i not downloaded any of this on this list but out from it ..it states 0mb/gb downloaded?

Im at a loss and only was able to laugh..but hey if im going to be blamed for something i did not do..then im start doing it why not im catching the blame anyways.

Because some of us have no other high speed alternatives. I'm actually in the process of trying to get my building to switch over to Verizon, but it's going to be a long process, as it involves them coming in and installing fiber optic everywhere. It's hard to boycott a company when they're the only one.

Roze I like where your coming from but you have a naive rose coloured view of how the system really works..You talk like a layman's lawyer but I think you've been reading the acceptable mainstream books..Then you regurgitate the party line.If you think of yourself as a sovereign person please explain what assumed surrender is please.And what a sovereign person has in common with the IRS.

"Republic" is a noun, not an adjective. As such, a government cannot be republic, but it can be a republic. The United States is a republic. "Democratic" is an adjective. It is also a democratic form of government. It is not a democracy, but it is democratic. For a government to be democratic means for the people to be sovereign. You do not have to be so anti-dictionary, you know.

Money would be needed for such an advocacy campaign. I doubt that any of us here have the vast amounts of money to do so, whereas the RIAA &c. has tons of money. I think that, in order to have the money necessary, somebody, like myself or somebody else, should start an advocacy organization, so that everybody could donate to this organization, so that there could be enough money.

I brought up Tor on my linux box and the next day my ISP got a takedown notice traced to my IP that I had bittorrented some movie I never heard of. Sadly, even though it is completely legal and in widespread use, I decided to stop running Tor rather than fight the sure to continue flood of bogus notices its use generates. I'm actually pretty pissed about that too.

The first time the Patriot Act was passed, it was without the attention of the public. When it came to the attention of the public, not everybody was opposed to it, which is why it did not become repealed immediately. It is definitely not a case of some tyrannical interest overcoming the public opinion.

The "war" also is not a case of tyrannical interest overcoming the public opinion. The fact is, not everybody in the United States has opposed the "war." At least parts of the public opinion has approved of the war, and more in the past.
