@Old8Boy, ISP's can get all our personal info and actually sell it to other companies. Literally.
And I don't pirate in the first place.

Well alright, strictly speaking the internet is supposed to be an openly accessible forum for sharing information (originally scientific, then military, then commercial and personal information). Part of being able to share information is not being restricted in what information you share. By extension, it also means you're supposed to be able to do what you want. Censorship and policing of the internet is the same as censorship and suppression of free speech and thought. Need I continue?Actually, that isn't what the internet is supposed to be... That's just what low morals/scruples have turned it into.

My ISP's packages go up to 250mbps. I'm getting the 100mbps package.What is a comcast modem?
Comcast is an ISP based in the US. While the customer service isn't the best, their speeds are pretty darn good for the price; they even have 100mbps connections in some areas. Wish my apartment complex had them.
So you get internet for free illegally? Will it work in the UK?What is a comcast modem?

^Homebrew modem. Bypasses the Gateway that Comcast has to activate, in order for it to get service. Plug your coax cable into it, and you're set. I guess it works with other ISPs too. Incredible cheap too. I could be wrong. >.< If I am correct me.
Yep, says in the description. (Works with most major US ISPs.)
Effort...Please do. But before you get too far into your thought...
Sharing copyrighted materials without the owner's permission =/= expressing your right of free speech
...okay, continue.

Information, copyrighted or not, is meant to be shared (debatable) as part of freedom of speech/thought (since everybody has the right to learn). With the current way the internet works, there is nothing wrong with sharing information without the owner's permission (as long as the owner is properly identified - otherwise it borders theft). Of course, the owner has the right to have that information restricted and/or removed. In the case where the sharing of information causes damage, they also have the right to pursue compensation from the person causing damage (original uploader, also debatable). ...That's about it in it's broadest sense, at least for now..
The proposed changes are to establish a proper set of laws to prevent the majority of people sharing information (see the anti-SOPA campaigns) and give increased power to authorities (by extension ISPs) to police/moderate the users to take action against violators of those rules. These changes are being drawn up by people who do not have a complete grasp over the nature of the internet, and that's why so far most of the proposed changes have been squashed. ...Meh, too much effort to continue.

Does this actually work? I have Time Warner Cable and I'm in NY. I get horrible speeds from TWC....What is a comcast modem?
