Comcast working on new anti-piracy scheme, moving beyond “Six Strikes” - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Soldier32;41736896]Yeah, it's just really where you live like Comcast has been great to me for the most part.[/QUOTE] Yeah, where I live Comcast is the only isp you can receive, literally no one else is out here. I mean, their customer support is shitty as well as their phone service, but so far internet-wise, I've been pretty good.

Sounds like when you start a torrent it'll google search the title and bring up the first link that has a store for it. It'll be terrible.

the only way i can think of this being done is with arbitrary code being ran on either webpages or on your machine, either one is extremely exploitable.

How about doing the thing that makes sense? Make it so you can stream episodes online a week behind normal viewing with ads. Or pay a small fee for a season pass and be able to watch without ads. NBC put every Hannibal episode online which was awesome. Now if only HBO will do the same. Now if only HBO will allow you to just buy HBOGo without going through your cable company.

[QUOTE=POLOPOZOZO;41736792]Netflix has a long way to go honestly, I took a month trial and after a while it started feeling like I was walking through an old Blockbuster, it's not cool that movies just disappear.[/QUOTE] I like it for TV shows. There's a great selection of quality shit on there. I don't bother pirating TV anymore because I can get my Breaking Bad in better quality for a lot less hassle. For me at least, Netflix could totally replace Cable TV and I wouldn't miss a thing.

I would give so much for a steam-like movie service over here.

The stuff they have is 4+ year old movies and the first few seasons of series that have run like 8+ seasons That said, i really like Netflix. Used it with a trial for almost 4 months, the only reason i didn't pay to continue was that i'd watched everything i was interested in

I came home one day to a comcast "expert" installing some shitty modem software on my desktop. my mom let him in because she was having some bullshit ransom-ware troubles with her laptop. their reasoning was so she could access the internet the modem is hooked up to a router.. yay south florida monopoly and taking advantage of old people
