Perpetrated by your ISP at the expense of legitimate charities...

http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/06/05/148234

I believe a well known method for "Breaking" the strength of an enemy is
"Divide and Conquer".

We probably ALL should be united against this kind of behavior from
corporations and Governments.

Sure "Your" system can be secured to some extent, maybe "You" are smart
enough to find a way round it, I am sure most of us here could claim
that it doesn't bother "Us", but when those aware of such things turn a
blind eye it gives a tacit "Okay" to the perpetrators. This abuse is
common to all of us - we may have to worry about cyber terrorism, we
should NOT have to worry about it from providers.

So please do read this and suggest a suitable figure for compensation to
the charities affected - I suggest starting at a million UK pounds per
lost ad. After all BT cannot claim that ad placing has no value -
otherwise they would not be developing the technology - and guess what,
just one of the ads intercepted could have been seen by Bill Gates who
would have donated a million - but he never saw it.

So how about we all get together some place and say a loud "Stop this
fraud now", and try to put some political backing behind it.

DOS attack caused by DRM. Yes, they (content providers/content provider
channels) are screwing us over left and right.

Well I don't think we have proof yet, the article was not that clear
really, but why pick on Charities. Why not Microsoft AND Apple and
Vonage AND Qwest AND AT&T and say we beat you boys, pay us more and we
will insert your ads bac in place, leave the Charities out of it. If the
Charity ad things means time / spaces that would otherwise have been
allocated to Charity well piss on them anyway, there may be no financial
loss but it's the principle of the thing.

But, see the overwhelming - er - apathy I generated. Maybe I should have
posted as Frank. Judging from the recent numbers of deleted posts I'd
say even Microsoft listens to Frank.
