and what of stuff much older than that, things that have not been re-released in any form as of yet (some Saturn titles come to mind) and are hard to find used as well as do not make the copyright holder any money.Is it realistic to expect that the only torrents which will be monitored are ones which feature recently released content? For instance if one were to download a game which was three years old is it fairly safe to assume this won't be monitored? I wouldn't think it would be worth a companies time to monitor torrents which feature three year old content.

not that this makes it ok to do it, just wonder how all of this comes into play, it seems more logical for them to monitor newer stuff much more closely than older ones.
It says I'm using Chrome but I am not using Chrome lolNothing with this involves the government. It's a policy change that really doesn't change anything. Hollywood and the RIAA have been doing this forever. They subpoena the ISP for your name and the ISPs would either respond or say fuck off. The next step would be a lawsuit against the ISP, which would immediately turn over your name. This way, you aren't immediately being sued for downloading and instead are getting a warning.
Also, if you are so worried about privacy:
This stuff is what you are sending out to all the websites you visit.

Yet again, it'll take a while before anything happens. You can't monitor something for years and start handing out warning based on things before the law was passed. So I'd imagine it'll take a few weeks if not months before the first ones start going into the wild.Soooo. Anyone get a "warning"?

So whoever's internet thing said they were near ladysmith freaked me out since that's near me also... also is charter affected by this?
The main issue is that this is the first step to them implementing crazier shit. The RIAA is completely fucking batshit.Calm all of your tits. This isnt even as close to as bad as you are all making this out to be.
