That, my friend, is why we exist. If enough people shout loud enough that they don't want shaped internet, then (according to the theory at least) we should be able to affect change.

Not at all.
The Cachelogics store the 'indexes' to their data purely as hashes, same as other P2P 'clients' do.
There is no way for anyone to know exactly what's on the Cachelogics, therefore the ISPs can claim common carriage as they have no way of knowing what the boxes are storing.
If a content provider wants something removed they can, of course, ask for it to be, they just have to supply a really large hash of the file 
It's more legally sound than newsgroup servers for example. |
Okay great, bring them on. But this is not the same as traffic shaping.
