| 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 ? (Aside from Peter Jackson) |

| 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) | ||

| 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? Ken |

| 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 ?? |
