Well me mates it looks as though they be after your ol' capn'.

I just received an email from my ISP stating I was in violation of the DMCA (digital millennium copyright act) and they had received notice of such violations. The darn thing is the files they said I was in violation of, are available from their respective companies websites for download. Neither of the two files are "cracked" they are the full legal version, if anything I should be getting a letter from these companies stating "thank you for sharing your bandwidth" instead of a letter from my ISP saying "if you continue to use P2P your service will be canceled".

Now I decided to read the "terms of service" for my ISP and they clearly state that I may not use any P2P service. This is bullshit (pardon my greek) that want to cover their billion dollar ass and now I am in violation of my TOS by leeching and seeding Debian Linux which is free, open source.

My ISP also states that I may not transmit any material that the average person would deem as inappropriate. So I guess if I made a blog or website stating that " (insert isp name here) sucks" they could say it is inappropriate and needed to be removed. Or possibly even the posting of a nude image of myself could be construed as a violation.

It's time to take a stand against big business and open the doors to freedom of information and our rights as humans. Hell Apple pirated the "windowed graphical user interface" from Xerox, and Microsoft pirated it from Apple. Now they want to come after you for pirating from them for personal use not for profit.
