Everything is copyrighted, that was my point in my last post. what there suggesting simply isn't possible because you'll always be downloading copyrighted material the difference is you have the right to do that for the most point.

You can't stop pirating.

1) Freely distributing copyrighted material that is not your intellectual property is indeed illegal unless you've been licensed to do so.
2) Stopping file sharing will not shut down the web no matter what you read on a highly alarmist article.
I have no idea how someone has projected action against file sharing to equate to a shutting down of the entire web.

Fact: Artists make most of their money on concerts, not CD sales.
Fact: File sharing hurts the Agent. To bad, big man in the suit won't be able to buy that third Lexus.
Fact: With the current amount of file sharing that goes on, artist and the companies that support them are still incredibly rich.
Fact: The price of a CD is extremely inflated, the average teenager cannot buy every CD that comes out.
The only reason the government protects the record companies is because of the fact the record companies can line pockets with their incredible wealth. Will we sit back and let greedy pricks in suits take rights of speech and information sharing away from us?

So when we hear about large companies demanding to get the most bandwith since they created the infrastructure.. perhaps this is it.

Yes, you could bring down what we know as the Net. The Net relies on DNS - no DNS, no Net.... Yes, local Nets could maintain their own DNS (as they do now) but to get anywhere, you need the top level DNS servers. No top level, and it is all toast....
