Which means, those with Piratebay, Mediafire, or anything similar will pay consequences

I wonder what qualifies as illegal?

Movies, Music, T.V, Games, etc

I meant the methods used to obtain them, some methods are borderline and could go either way.

Dayum. I don't really use much of those thankfully.

Mediafire 

Well dayum

This isn't surprising, I thought this sort of thing was already happening. My friend received a notice from her internet provider about this very topic months ago.

 

It says that the company the media originates from has to file a complaint after detecting a violation. Anybody know how they go about detecting violations?

The article is specifically geared toward sharers or uploaders but they will likely start doing it to downloaders too

Happy about this. If you like something then support it by buying it, don't torrent it off the internet for free.

Now i cant catch up to my tv shows

You'd think they'd realize they're fighting a losing battle.  Even if people stopped downloading they can get samples, get stuff used (which benefits the seller and not the company), and listen to music on youtube or spotify or something.  I'm surprised a universal license hasn't been applied where you pay a monthly fee for downloads instead.  

Also there's been studys to show that those who pirate typically are the ones who end up buying.  They pirate to try it, and then download it to support it if they like what they got.

Back to square one, MAFIAA.

This, however they might take it too far. Watches Vivo on youtube: "Alert! You are a Pirate! Yo Ho Twiddle dee dee!"

Good point As long as they don't go WAY overboard with it, I guess it's alright

I doubt that this will stop pirates from downloading, they'ii just be more sneaky and more clever about it. 

 

Well firetruck.

Bai bai utorrent

 

 

Well firetruck.

My thoughts exactly

SOPA. Why on earth did someone come up with you.... Jeeze... Most people can't afford to buy whatever it is and if they can they'd like to try it and most file sharing sites are for us to share files... so getting punished for using things these big companies put out for us to use....Makes no sense what so ever. Oh well I guess a lot more peole may go to jail for downloading something than actually committing a crime

........

No matter how much punishment internet providers give, there will always be a way around.
