Opinion: Too Early for Torrents et. al.

[ElPhantasmo]

"Torrent" type apps and downloading lots (you all understand what I mean by "lots") of media outside "approved channels/apps" is a good way to have telcos significantly restrict their "unlimited" data plans. I think, it's too early to use "unapproved apps" like it's your home internet service to "share" or "format shift" with the Pre. Telcos will force updates to disable or charge extra those apps and/or protocols for everyone, not just those who abuse them. Don't slap telcos in the face too hard; they have a bigger hand.

The telcos have a good grasp on their cellular phone networks AND "your" phone. That's something we need to change, quickly. Telcos and governments have a responsibility to keep this new, vital and integral resource (the internet) from censorship for greed and the people a have a responsibility not to abuse this amazing technology.

That's the kind of thing I have no qualms with.

The Pirate Bay picked the dumbest AND smartest name for a torrent tracker. Like I said, it's too early and it can be spun in the media to make it look like homebrewers are "hackers" and thieves and can't be trusted. Or Sprint will claim, it's QOS for the NASCAR app and other crap you don't/won't use and they can't skim off some green by charging you twice (or more) for media in different formats or as backups.
