also, a couple of minor errors…

divx is not used very often withing the p2p community anymore.
xvid is the most preferred video codec – and has been for many years -
because it’s better than divx.

when “experts” and reviewers mention that a certain portable or standalone device
plays avi films, for the most part never mention xvid, instead touting the player’s ability
to play divx. are these reviewers and “experts” paid by the divx corp for every mention of
product? are they against or afraid of mentioning far superior open source free codecs and
programs because they won’t get a commission?

although movies usually are 700MB, more and more newer action and
graphic-heavy films are being released in 1400MB 2CD sizes, which can
usually be joined using any one of several free video editing programs.

my cable connections is 25000 Kbit/s / 2500 Kbit/s, but it usually gets higher speeds of 30000/3000.

i have no time limits or download caps and can download or upload as much as i want whenever i want. my isp loves and encourages filesharers and spits in the faces of any groups, unions or companies which try to blackmail them with laws that have no jurisdiction in my country. laws which also don’t exist in my country at all because in a real democracy the people decide which laws they want with referendums.

filesharing of so-called copyright material is completely allowed. a legally purchased item can be shared and copied without fear.

in many countries, UK in particular, the daily and/or sunday newspapers include free dvds. as the dvd is free with the purchase of the newspaper, how can a movie company complain if that dvd is copied or shared? the paper gave it away for free. if the studios want to sue anyone, sue the newspapers for giving away free movies and tv shows, thereby enabling someone who didn’t “buy” the dvd to copy and share it.

US laws don’t apply anywhere outside the US, and many ISPs are sick and tired of kowtowing to lunatic studio heads’ blackmailing schemes. my isp included.
