AT&T Will Warn, But Not Bump, Alleged Illegal Downloaders

The RIAA's new graduated response plan asks ISP providers to help monitor illegal downloaders; AT&T says that won't involve termination of service.

So AT&T will just give a warning and a rate hike. That's big of them

Besoek gerus www.karelappel.co.za en sien dat daar baie afrikaanse musiek en vermaak is. Registrasie as lid is gratis

I'm confident that illegal downloaders will find ways around this, too.

Big Brother is watching. WE should protest this.

I can't blame AT&T for wanting to hold onto its clients, but this is bad news for bands whose music is being exploited.

I hope AT&T doesn't pay attention to how much online porn I consume. That'd be embarrassing!!

So when my 10 linux boxes max out my connection during their downloading of critical updates via bit torrent, will my ISP simply assume I am stealing or will they examine the packets (essentially tapping my communications link) to see what I am downloading?
