Reading stories like this makes people think that all pedophiles are stupid, but then again, as with any other crime, it's only the stupid ones who get caught...

An estimated 1% of men are pedophiles. It's kind of like finding gays in Saudi Arabia. They don't advertise their presence. I heard from an old lady that there were no gays in the Soviet Union until they got infected by the west when it collapsed.

Jesus, is that some sort of proven statistic? Because if it's accurate that's orders of magnitude more than what I expected. No wonder they seem to come out of the woodwork lately, but still, kind of chilling.

There are a lot of undeserving idiots with money out there, no doubt. And they have certainly taken advantage of copyright to get wealthy. But it seems to me that you just want to solve this by making everything “indy”, on the cheap, and as much as I love independent music and film (I saw 40 movies over a two week period at a film festival last year, it was awesome) I think the world is far more complex and interesti…

Yep, Comcast ties your modem's mac address to an IP address. However, if your modem is off long enough for a new user in your area to need a new IP address, they'll snatch up yours. Also, 10 years? I guess DOCSIS 3.0 has been around that long. That's pretty impressive.

I recently got a docsis 3.1 modem, you have to call and activate the MAC. They just used the same IP, conveniently enough.

How do you even pay for that? 80k potential viewers? Aren't streaming licenses normally region exclusive?
