torrentfreak.com — his week several scary stories surfaced about how the MPAA and RIAA are negotiating with ISPs on how to deal with copyright infringers. Even though it was often presented as news, those who look deeper will realize that this is nothing new at all, just the same old threats dressed up in a new jacket.

WTF? This is what is wrong with Digg's -digg me down- featureI just got two digg downs and I have no idea why? Am I using PG wrong? Is there a setting I don't know about that will prevent this cache from getting gig in size?No, no constructive criticism no assistance only digg down.Digg used to be a board that discussed articles, not just blindly dugg down because you didn't like something. Instead of digging me down, how about telling me/advising me on how to fix the issue. Now the top story on Digg is how to hang toilet paper.And I wasn't ripping on PG, only mentioning what my issue was.

Yes, there is a setting. No time to be a babysitter here. Look and you shall find it.

I agree with the sentiment, but it won't be as simple as you say. For one think, in order to produce a physical object, you will require some mass or energy. So it won't be completely free, it will be cause of the "raw materials."Also, data cannot be reproduced an infinite amount of times because we do not have an infinite amount of storage space. Data must be stored somewhere.

I'm with you on your outage, but:#1) A class action law suite requires multiple plaintiffs. Are you just throwing this term around because it sounds good, or do you have other Cablevision customers united in your stand against them?#2) How did they release confidential information? As the article linked here states, the copyright holders don't know your name. They only know your (already public) IP address. They contact your ISP, who in turn contacts you without giving your information away...unless the copyright holder decides to take it to court.
