Most movies I download will be on my digital cable within a few months. I download several movies each month. Over time these movies may be watched several times within my household. Digital cable uses bandwidth too. That is why using p2p gives a net savings in bandwidth. It actually costs everyone else less if I download the movie with p2p.

Why are you people (who don’t use p2p) paying for high bandwidth? Is it for video? If you do then you are using the same bandwidth that the p2p users are using. In p2p you must give back as much as you download or the system collapses. In other words, you can only download as fast as you can upload. For a 4.4 gig DVD it takes about 24 hours with an 86 kbps upload limit. You must also limit the upload stream to about 85 to 90 percent of your capacity for the p2p application to function properly.

My Comcast digital cable bill is over $174.00 a month. I pay over $56.00 a month to “Comcast” for my 86kb upstream limit. I pay more than $2088.00 per year just to Comcast for digital cable and internet. That does not include going to movies or buying CDs or renting movies at blockbuster video or whatever else. Rightfully, if I downloaded videos full time they would still owe me money back.

You should think before you participate in demonizing a group of people because the government and large corporations want you to. Do you think I am paying my share to the movie industry? The cable industry? The Government? The recording industry? They all get paid by me so if I want to download “ICE AGE II” over the internet instead of paying extra for it then it is my right. A right that I have already paid for, even if you don’t know it and even if they don’t admit it because of the industries greed.

Billion dollar corporations use mind shaping technologies to shape sheeple’s opinions. They give the weak susceptible sheeples a common delusion. Emboldened by their common delusion this weak minded group of sheeples then impress the delusion on the rest of the sheeples through intimidation, ridicule and other common social pressures. Believing they are alone, and tired of being assaulted and offended by social pressures, the Sheeple will usually conform. That’s how they keep the Sheeple working for them and against themselves. This page is an example of this type of mind control at work. Only a foolish sheeple would stick up for these very large corporations who are raping the world’s people of resources and deluding them. All for the love of money.

Actually the article said that 65% of the Exetel customers that took their poll, not 65% of Exetel customers. Market research stats can be very misleading. This was a poll on a forum asking: ‘P2P Shaping – Will you leave Exetel?’ Well, people who were upset would have responded immediately and that is what you got. 311 people responding, a third of which answered yes.

What really needed to be done here was a random sampling of say 500 to 1000 Exetel customers and pose the question there, albeit wording in a less leading manner.

jeeese you guys need to read economics for dummies…
