Re: STM always enforced?

Only 3 - if you are that keen to block P2P surely you could do much better than that a quick google should bring up thousands.

tbh he seems to be a fan of reporting everybody just about everyday for everything.

Not sure what crime he's imagining this time (apparently Kushan having below "adverage" intelligence was worthy of a police report last week)...

I have seen mention of someone being about a mile (iirc) from their cab but I'd lay odds that there is no cable service there.
According to Thinkbroadband the average line length across the UK is around 480m from cabinet, with 60% of lines being 500m or less.

Well imature rep comments yes - don't like it don't send them!

AND why does everyone refer to me as "he" I've got women's bits!

Anyway.. I can only assume this 10/16% is so that they can see if it can cope and regain control.

Re: STM always enforced?

P2P is not illegal under any act.

Copyright "theft" via P2P is usually a civil matter, not criminal.

I think you mean copyright infringement

Theft of copyright would be actually stealing the rights.

The media industry deliberatly using wrong words seems to have rubbed off on people.

P2P is illegal, is it? You'd best get reporting, then. Last I checked, Skype uses P2P technology. As does Spotify (for its desktop player). Many games uses P2P for updates (World of Warcraft being a prime example). Hell, even twitter uses P2P in their server infrastructure. Best get FACT on the case, they're obviously unaware of all these infringements!

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go download the rights to Disney so I can build my own theme park.

Ah yes, sorry you're correct on that one. What I meant to say was that P2P is not synonymous with copyright infringement.

talking about that, I read a an article a couple of weeks ago that Disney are doing a massive expansion over the next 4 years to add an Avatar world to the theme park, it looks amazing.

Take a look at pic 4, if you want to try and built it first please do, I can't wait.

Probably so but my point is that VM do not operate UK wide they operate in areas of high population density and I suspect that in those areas the average subscriber to cabinet distance is going to be less than the nationwide average.

That does look pretty good! I think I'll wait until they're finished with it, then download it for myself

Re: STM always enforced?

You'll need a pretty big 3D printer

That'll be the next big copyright infringement area I reckon.

Re: STM always enforced?

Theft?

I think you meant copyright infringement as has already been pointed out.

Anyway reporting sites that list trackers and the like is a waste of time. As I said way back they are 10 a penny and a google search will reveal thousands. Do you really think you are the only person who found these sites? I'd be mildly interested to find out how and why you did.

I rather think though that you didn't and your main reason for posting was to produce exactly what has followed. Please go trolling elsewhere.

I didn't, actually, because what you said directly implied that P2P was just as bad as "copyright theft". Otherwise, why on earth would you hate it so?

As someone has already pointed out, Copyright theft has nothing to do with P2P anyway, perhaps you mean copyright infringement, which is a completely different thing.

In any case, I suggest you get off your high-horse.
