1227870 2011-08-31 19:05:00 With the new anti piracy laws coming in today I predict that sales of large hard drives will tail off markedly.

And who will need large data caps now ?

1227871 2011-08-31 19:12:00 I wonder whether sales of 3G modems will increase, and 3G data costs go down, given that 3G won't be included in this law until 2013. Zara Baxter (16260)
1227872 2011-08-31 19:49:00 Being with Slingshot and suffering speed bumps at times the new File Sharing Law will be a win win for me

Who will need ADSL2

Might even have to seek Counseling to handle the new speed

1227873 2011-08-31 20:14:00 I think that by and large the people who do it regularly will still keep doing it. It's only going to stop the 'opportunist' from giving it a try, and it may potentially change some of the 'perception' around piracy and downloading movies. Chilling_Silence (9)

1227875 2011-08-31 22:44:00 I am in favour of this. Telecom sent me a letter saying my cap has been lifted from 10GB to 20GB at no extra cost to moi!!

I rang them back an cut my plan back to 10GB and now I save $10 a month. I don't think that is what they want?

1227877 2011-08-31 23:07:00 Yes you might find more people changing to a cheaper plan with there ISP as they no longer need the bigger cap.

1227878 2011-08-31 23:19:00 Yes, and I would not want to invest in that new second fibre optic cable to the USA, it will only be carrying emails ! Digby (677)
1227879 2011-08-31 23:29:00 Look at the up side to this new law, Maybe :rolleyes: some new places may just pop up, and actually allow people to legally pay for at a reasonable price good quality movies / music.

This was on fair go a while back (from memory) when asked the majority of people would quite happily pay a small fee to download good quality legal downloads - But when questioned the spokes person for the recording industry, why this service wasn't available in NZ, it was his attitude -- errrrrrrrr, ummmmm awhhhhhhh oh thats to much work , we would rather fine people. Maybe some one will set that up one day.

Ya think ??
