Yeah, I may have been a little harsh about them but in my defense, my ISP is French.

Stoopid, baguette bashers.

Maybe I can generate a little more interest in this thread if I say:

"This will end all free internet porn!"

Now, how does that grab you?

Honestly, 3 (or x) years down the line I may have to decide if I want online gaming access or Subsim access. What kind of choice is that?

Also, don't think the US is immune to this kind of mentality either. The largest telecoms provider involved in this debacle in Europe is AT&T Inc and I'm pretty sure that's a big infrastructure provider in the US too.

I find it strange that the usual members here at Subsim who vehemently defend their rights to digital (or otherwise) freedom are appalled at this proposal. Perhaps you think it won't pass the vote.

And how many Politicians (crooks) are running off to their mistresses laughing with pockets full of money.

At least then you'll have something to do when you reach your bandwith cap. :rotfl:

While this disturbs me, particularly because I did not know of this (in fact no one knows every single law which passes EU corridors), I believe that once more people hear about this, someone will go on knocking on the EUP doors. I've had it with them looking into which sites I visit, now they can almost officially with whom I am communicating and they wish to limit my surfing habits? Christ, I go from pure HTML to extreme flash and HD, there is no way I can define a my browsing habits.

Even though I support the EU, I have been getting pissed of by what it is doing. Some laws should be kept from polititians in general, not only the EU.

Makes me wonder how horribly "out of touch" these people are to even consider such a proposal.
