This is actually hilarious. The US finally managed to pass a bill on internet monitoring. Good luck to all you US haxx0rs now.

It's not as funny as it is depressing.

You're using a company's service. If you don't like being monitored, set up your own infrastructure.

For you guys, yes. For me it's hilarious. I bet the UK is next.

You know, I've always wanted to open my own ISP where none of this would affect me. Unfortunately I have no clue how to. Sad

How do they check to see if you're downloading copyright'd material anyway?
I imagine the process is automated, and if that's the case, would encrypting data work?

General rule, if it's encrypted, they can't read it.

They don't have to read the file to know when you're using a P2P network, and they don't have to let you keep using their service if they think you're pirating.
