That's exactly what they're trying to do, and that's exactly why they'll fail. So imagine an organization like the RIAA tasked with policing the Internet.

However, empirical studies suggest that the widespread and almost rampant nature of the piracy is an indication of price gouging and lack of options. Content owners and media outlets are getting very greedy. A 1 hour television show has 20 minutes worth of advertisements plus numerous product placement advertising. Entire feature length films are nothing more than $10MM commercials. Cable rates keep rising out of control. And, you can no longer do anything with the stuff you purchase. Can't make backups, can't rip it to your iPod, can't play it on your computer. It's the restriction of our lives, the "Minority Report"-esque advertising, draconian DRM and the freaking nickle and diming by the industry that has caused this. All they want to do is fight it outright. So they spend more and then raise their prices more to compensate on all the billions they waste on useless DRM that's cracked within days of its release. If they pulled their heads out of their asses they would see this.

Really? It isn't poor design? What about the exponential increase in video services like YouTube and Hulu? Upgrade your trunks and manage them. what’s truly pathetic about efforts like these is the lie that they base their work on: piracy being a major cause of network congestion.

So they filter bittorrent, a few days before that filter even goes into effect, people will design a new method, an encrypted method. They filter that? It gets changed again. RIAA/MPAA/Arts+Labs: Give up, you are not going to win. Seriously what is “filtering the internet” going to do?

And the reason I laugh, is because the SECOND that AT&T (the provider of my DSL service) tries to filter anything that I want to do, view, download, etc. I will personally be canceling my service and seeking a provider that "won't play nice." This is ridiculous, and just like mentioned in the post, it's a way for these companies to promote their services and kill the networks of those that aren't part of their stupid plan.
