Criminals

Ok, then, you’ve made an unequivocal statement and a rather venal accusation of aiding and abetting criminals. So it’s time to put up or shut up. I propose a test.

You demonstrate this is true, and I’ll donate $5,000 to the charity of your choice. If it’s false, you donate $5,000 to the charity of my choice.

How might you demonstrate its true? Well, you could install the same system as Comcast used on Lariat, and then wait for somebody to use one of the encrypting P2P programs or take any other measure discussed in the EFF document. Then press criminal charges, and attain a criminal conviction. Or you need not do it on your own ISP. There are other ISPs still doing what Comcast has now stopped, so just ask the local prosecutors to indict somebody for doing this. I haven’t checked but I bet we could find somebody willing to be the test case. Is the amount too high? Happy to suggest a number you can better afford. Is it too low? Suggest a higher number.

Or not so sure? Come up with any other test that would somehow verify this claim, because otherwise, I suspect I and the rest of the world will consider it ludicrous.
