Comment Conflict of interest (Score 1) 225

There is clearly a conflict of interest here. Two groups of people are paying these companies.

Their customers are paying for net access and don't want someone else getting more bandwidth than they are because of their choice of websites / software.

But then others come along and say we'll pay you to prioritise our traffic.

These ISPs should decide who their customers are.

Sure stealing is wrong, but copying data is not stealing. If I take code written in house for in-house use from one employer to another how has the old one lost anything if the new one starts using it in house?

My own fall back is that some useful software that I have written for my current employer is now GPLed because I asked them if it could be. If I ever lose this job I'll be hawking my skills in setting up that software from one end of the country to the other.

Software versioning does not necessarily follow the decimal system.
It has not gone from "point two one to point two two".
It has gone from "dot twenty one to dot twenty two", which in standard software versioning terms means it is still on the original code base but has had extra features added.
