File sharers in canada will be caught and already have. You can take but you can't give. Easy enough to figure out.

Europe makes me laugh. Their laws are a joke to begin with and everyone I have EVER known from Europe breaks their laws every day. I guess they just like paper work.

Bulldog chases SDSL up to 4Mbps.... ROFL. Thank god no company in the US is stupid enough to charge that much for internet access... maybe if it were 100mbps it'd be worth it, but even then I wouldn't shell out nearly a grand for installation, a monkey can do it.

@SDSL commenter: Guess your not gonna want to live in UK then, that price isn't extortionate if you compare it to prices we pay for other connections. Bulldog is infact one of the cheapest companies offering broadband here, and alot of users have switched to their services as more an more ISPs here put bandwidth/usage limits on their connections <.<

im not in the US. Thanks.

Comments from Tomposted - 06:34 PM CEST - Apr,01 2004
and in the defence of the US, at least they had the balls to do something about it, not like the Europeans. Europeans probably had secret financial deals in place before they jumped in. And aren't the Europeans directly north of all this? Ah, the turn the blind eye act..Who us? What's wrong? or how about the french telling people that we don't care about your traditions/religion, remove the headdress. Classy.. very classy. Europeans are just wonderful. Pfff.
