Comment Charge the ISP's (Score 1) 234

Isn't it possible they won't charge the consumers, but instead take payments from ISPs to clear their traffic? Around here FIOs and Cablevision are in a death match to get subscribers. If only one of them were able to have subscribers viewing Hulu that would be a clear advantage. The other would have to counter.
How much is that worth?

Comment ad blockers are stealing (Score 0, Troll) 417

There is nothing that justifies putting up an ad blocker, and everyone knows it. When you come to my website you look at ads, if you choose not to then do not come to the site.

If you didn't know blocking ads was wrong why does the ad blocking software go out of its way to be indetectable??

If you want to use adblocker make it easy for a website to detect, then I have the ability to shut you down. Without that then the only purpose behind using the software is stealing. I also shouldn't have to say that if everyone blocked ads most of the free and useful sites would disappear very quickly.

In the Seventies a bunch of people built everything out of asbestos because they hated fire, and thought that anything that didn't show up in a 3 month test was non-existent. In fact history is littered with seemingly innocuous devices that ended up causing great harm. And for those asking for proof, I believe people are markedly crazier than they were 5 years ago, so yes I think it is plausible.
