wardevil: Tell me something - is "search the forum" very complicated for you or what ?! Or may be you have reading comprehention problem(s) and need stuff to be explained in simple words ?! May be RIAA nocking YOUR door ?!
I believe no matter what ...
Seeing is believing, you know. And THAT remains to be seen.
RII* will not rest until all p2p software
In the world ? Is that what you mean ?
AFAIK, RIAA and MPAA have "American" in their name. US is great country, I'm sure, but their laws valid only in US. Not in Portugal. Not anywhere else.
Sooner or later ISPs tend to do traffic shapping
I my country there's little thing called "law" which makes sure that another little thing called "service contract" is honored. Meaning, that your ISP must state issue of traffic shaping or type of traffic in service contract. And this "must" is enforceble in court of law. But, this is my country. Yours may be different
Now some insight on the issue of traffic shaping. ISP uses shaping for p2p traffic, but not for the reason you think. You may be surprised, but ISP _want_ very you to use p2p. More you want p2p - more you need their services, you buy more bandwidth - everyone is happy. But - ISP itself is buying less bandwidth that worst-case would need. To keep network working - instead of buying more bandwidth, they do shaping on heaviest application. This way they effectively deceive you by celling more bandwidth that they can supply. And they don't give a jack about RIAA or MPAA or whatever.
