For your own good, do not watch this television series. You will not stop. It is incredibly addictive and the only way to watch it is all episodes straight. I watched the first season, 6 episodes, in 2 nights. Absolutely incredible. It's not even about the zombies, it's about the struggle to survive amongst the living. That is the true wonder of this series. I give it a 1 so you won't rent it!
If you like zombie movies you'll like this show. It's basically a really extended zombie movie. I can see why some people get bored with it, as it can be slow in some parts. I'm watching season two right now and I think it's much better...but have a hard time seeing how this show is going to last long term. There's only so much you can do with a zombie plot...
its too bad its only 6 episodes it could be longer. The gore is intense BUT IT MAKES THE HORROR DRAMA AND ACTION WAY BETTER!!!!. you'll grow fond of some characters but resent others.
Not my cup of tea. The best I can say about it is that it has a slight feel of the graphic novel, to bad there isn't more of that atmospheric touch. The characters I didn't care about, nor the actors, though the lead guy and his best friend dude are both hot. I stopped watching after the first 3 episodes. Once you've seen brains splattering from either getting shot, beaten to a pulp or impaled, over and over, dark blood oozing, flesh being eaten including the innards of a horse, and healthy humans caught in seemingly insurmountable situations that they escape from ad nauseum, you've seen it a million times.
Season 1 of AMC's The Walking Dead, based on the series of graphic novels of the same name by Robert Kirkman, follows the story of Sheriff's Deputy Rick Grimes awaking from a coma into a post apocalyptic world overrun by zombies. Rick, at first in disbelief of the entire situation, must pull himself together in order to find his family, and most of all, to survive. The suspense and excitement generated from the plot, character's, and superb writing make watching this show an outstanding experience. The six episode season does an excellent job right off the bat of drawing the viewer in and getting them hooked on the show. No sooner than the first episode does the zombie killing commence, giving a taste of the action that can be expected throughout the season. Also, a lot of detail is put into the appearance of the zombies, making the post-apocalyptic world much more realistic and creating the elements of fear and suspense each time there is a zombie scene. The show includes a wide variety of characters. From Rick, who's always looking to do what's right, to hothead brothers Meryl and Daryl, the diversity in the types of characters makes it interesting to see how each reacts to their surroundings in this catastrophic world. The actors were very well casted for these characters as well. Not only are they able to make their role believable, they also depict their comic book counterparts quite well. Andrew Lincoln as Rick Grimes does an excellent job portraying the Sheriff's deputy and capturing the character's fear and confusion in the early episodes of the series. Lincoln manages this all while masking his British accent, making his performance that much more impressive. Overall, the acting adds to the realism of the show and makes the zombie-infested world believable. I would recommend this season to anyone, especially those with a love for survival stories and specifically, zombies. The action and suspense will keep you more than interested during this six episode season and make you want to keep watching. Overall, this thrilling season of The Walking Dead deserves nothing less than 10/10, and makes the following seasons a must-watch!
The Walking Dead – The Complete First Season: AWESOME! Doctor-at-Bass! T. A.
As a series thus far, despite all of the stupid things that some of the characters do to put themselves in harms way, I still look forward to watching each new episode. This is my only suspense/drama fix.
At the start of the first season of The Walking Dead Sheriff's Deputy Rick Grimes is shot and ends up in a coma after chasing down armed criminals. When Rick awakes civilization has been turned upside down because most of the world's population has become walkers (zombies). The origin of this human calamity is unknown. The only way to stop a walker is to destroy the walker's brain by whatever means necessary. On the move from his hometown Rick decides to travel to Atlanta after hearing that it may be a safe refuge. In Atlanta Rick is swarmed by walkers but manages to escape with the help of a young Korean man. Rick eventually reunites with his wife, son, fellow Sheriff's Deputy Shane Walsh and several other people at a survivor's camp outside Atlanta. After being attacked by walkers the group decides to travel to Atlanta to possibly find help at the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). The first season of The Walking Dead consists of six intense, exciting and violence filled episodes.
One of the best shows i've seen with zombies in it :). Every episode draws you in and wanting more. Not recommended for people with a weak stomach.
Great show! The zombie storyline is thrilling, suspenseful, fast-paced, and nerve wracking. The show will make you want to scream and smack sense into a couple of characters. Also, Rick is great as the main protagonist and can I just say, Daryl Dixon is the man. Daryl is the best character. Honestly.

Crusaders Fall Saturday at Richmond
Saturday, March 17, 2007Valparaiso got a solid pitching performance from Nick Mazzone (Carol Stream, Ill./Glenbard North H.S.) but were unable to plate more than one run as the Crusaders fell 4-1 to Richmond on Saturday afternoon in Richmond, Va.
Mazzone (0-3) threw 6.1 innings of three-run, seven-hit baseball, striking out four, but it was not enough for the Brown and Gold.
Valpo jumped in front first in the top of the opening inning. Michael Arensdorff (Eldridge, Iowa/North Scott H.S.) singled and scored on a double off of the bat of Zach Rodeghero (New Lenox, Ill./Providence Catholic H.S.).
The Spiders tied the game in the fifth on a RBI double by Benji Marshall. Joe Mahoney put the hosts in front in the sixth with his homer to rightfield. Richmond added two in the seventh on a sacrifice fly and a RBI single by Cameron Brown for insurance runs.
Arensdorff had three hits for the Crusaders in the loss.
Josh Horn (1-2) earned the victory for Richmond (8-9) in relief.
Valparaiso (2-10) will return north to face Illinois State on Tuesday afternoon in a 4 p.m. contest in Bloomington, Ill.

Today in History – December 28, 1886 – Josephine Cochrane is issued patent for a commercially successful dishwasher. Josephine Cochrane received the patent for the first commercially successful dishwasher. A mechanical device, turning a crank would provide a continuous flow of either soap suds or hot water to a rack of dishes. She founded a company to manufacture these dish washers, which eventually became KitchenAid. Josephine Cochran unveiled her initial prototype at the 1893, World's Fair. For many years, only hotels and large restaurants could afford dishwashers. In the 1950s, dishwashers began to make their way to the general public.
Also on this date in history in 1895, world's first movie theater opens in Paris. Auguste and Louis Lumire held their first private screening of projected motion pictures in March of 1895 and their first public screening of movies on this date in 1895, at Paris's Salon Indien du Grand Cafe. It all began when a handful of passersby were lured inside the Grand Cafe at 14 Boulevard des Capucines by a poster enigmatically advertising "Cinematographe Lumire." This history-making presentation featured ten short films, including their first film, Sortie des Usines Lumire Lyon (Workers Leaving the Lumire Factory). After paying a franc, descending into the grandly named "Salon Indien" in the basement, and sinking into armchairs before an empty screen, some of them wondered if they'd been tricked into seeing yet another cheesy magic lantern show. Then, as the audience stared in disbelief, the two-dimensional screen turned into a panorama of movement, a convincing, Frankensteinian display of artificial human life that would forever change the way we spend our Saturday nights."

While Francesca is still resting up from the Lyme disease, I decided to go outdoors and look for some pretty smelling flowers to bring indoors to cheer her up. Right now, Martha's lilies are in bloom so I headed out to the lily garden. I learned something interesting. Although lilies are gorgeous flowers, not all of them have an aroma.
I wonder what this tiger lily smells like. It sure is pretty, but has no fragrance.

Serves six to eight.
Time is the secret ingredient in these flavorful ribs. Be sure to leave enough time to marinate them in their spice paste for at least a day; then cook the ribs the day before serving.
In a blender, grind the fresh ginger, garlic, wine, and vinegar to a smooth paste. Add the coriander, paprika, cayenne, ground dried ginger, allspice, and black pepper; blend just to combine.
To bloom the spices, heat the canola oil in a heavy-based medium saucepan over medium heat. When the oil is hot, carefully add the spice paste and cook, stirring constantly and carefully (the mixture will bubble and splatter), until the paste is thick, very aromatic, and the oil separates out of the paste, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and let the spice paste cool.
When the spice paste is cool, stir in the ketchup, maple syrup, thyme, rosemary, and salt. Rub this paste over the ribs. Put the ribs in a nonreactive container, cover well, and refrigerate for at least one day and up to two days.
When ready to cook, put the ribs, the marinade, and the broth in a heavy-based 8-quart (or larger) pot over medium heat. Bring the liquid to a boil, reduce the heat to medium low or low, cover, and simmer until the meat is very tender when pierced with a fork, about 2-1/2 hours. Uncover and simmer for another 15 minutes.
Remove the ribs from the liquid and transfer them to a 9x13-inch Pyrex dish or other similar container. Cover with foil. Use a ladle to skim the fat (there will be a lot) from the braising liquid. Bring the liquid to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer gently, uncovered, until the liquid reduces to about 4 cups and becomes a slightly thick, velvety sauce, about 45 minutes.
When ready to serve, return the ribs to the sauce and reheat briefly. Taste the sauce and add salt if needed. Sprinkle with the cilantro and serve.
This dish is best if the ribs are cooked the day before serving. Braise the ribs, reduce the sauce, and pour as much of the sauce over the ribs as will fit in the Pyrex dish and pour the remaining sauce into another container. Let cool uncovered at room temperature for 1 hour and then cover and refrigerate until ready to serve, up to two days. When ready to serve, reheat the ribs and the sauce in a large pot over medium heat until the sauce is bubbling and the meat is warm all the way through.
Serve the ribs and sauce over Creamy Mashed Potatoes with Warm Spices. A side of sautéed spinach or chard also pairs well.

3/18/2012This was fantastic. I've made braised short ribs before, but the flavour on these was outstanding. I didn't have an 8-quart pot, and split the ribs and broth into two separate pots, whick worked fine. I was a little concerned as I was making the rub that it would be too strong-flavoured - I had a couple of guests who are conservative in the culinary department - but the flavour was just fine. (Meat perhaps a touch salty, and I did use low-salt chicken broth - I like my food saltly, but next time I would cut back on the salt in the rub.) No matter what, the meal was amazing. As my Dad said, "This is the closest I've ever come to eating a fork."
by Carolepip,
2/2/2010I have been dreaming of short ribs for days and happily just realized that I added this recipe to my favorites when I made it for guests almost two years ago. I can still remember the flavors and cannot wait until this weekend when I will make it for guests again. Yummy comfort food deluxe.

The Business Software Alliance calls graduated response its preferred plan for dealing with online software piracy, but it wants Internet disconnections to be overseen by a judge and feature due process and a chance to appeal. Well, sort of.
Read the whole story
Disconnection should never be allowed as a policy. Slippery slopes and mission creep aside, corporate profits and fictional possible sales are not reason enough to condemn someone to the outskirts of society, with everything being centered around the internet now. Anyone proposing it should be shunned and ostracized, and their attempts to mitigate the 3-strikes policies with wording about being a "last resort" should be identified as the disingenuous, trojan horse arguments they are.
I think it's great. The public needs a good motivating kick in the pants, to build file sharing protocols that do automatic distributed proxy, and are fully obfuscated to look just like HTTP and other common protocols. IE. sending and receiving files is ALWAYS fully double blinded and distributed. Emule and BitTorrent are good, but we need to do better. Protocols and tools that insure safety and net neutrality for file sharers are overdue.
It would be much slower, and it would at least double the internet traffic from file sharing, but it will go on, unstoppable, regardless. ISP's would not only have to carry all that extra traffic, but in order to block it they would have to figure out how to sift all that traffic based on whole new metrics: do they really have the determination to buy all the new traffic analysis gear required? Would big content really buy it for them? Maybe ISP's would finally decide to side with us, the paying customers.
If three strikes is thrust upon us, we will just have to fight back. The internet treats censorship as a malfunction and routes around it.
And BTW, if three strikes becomes the rule, then how about for telemarketers? Corporate fraud? Abusive cops? Lying politicians? I have strayed off topic, but a principle is a principle.

i feel the same way. there should be 3 strikes for any public office, 3 complaints and you're out.
Maybe i will try to get that on the ballot.
yeah three strikes for politicians, sounds good, term limits sound way better.
The lobbyists pay way more than the taxpayer so we always get the shaft.
wait, why are term limits better? In most situations, they're actually worse, because then the politicians that can't run anymore simply go over to the lobbyist side and start lobbying. So really, the onus is on the population to make sure that the politician does what he promises.. 3 strikes sound great for politicians.. anyone want to enact something similar for the senators and house of representatives in california?
That one is easy. Once you're elected you can never work for a lobbyist organization, ever.
I think 3 strikes is good for the goose and gander. Since high level execs and politicians break more laws than most people, it will wake them the hell up when the 3rd strike hits.
I suppose that $50-billion figure includes every unlicensed copy of Windows in China?
It includes the pipe dream that everyone would pay 600€ for every download of PS and so on. Has nothing to do with reality but on the other hand they have never really bothered with it anyhow.
^ Yes, that $50 billion is the amount of money they WISH they were losing. When they lobby for draconian laws that squash our freedom, I sometimes wish we would oblige them.
That number also reminds me of Austin Powers, Dr. Evil.
One billion gagillion fifillion sheblgdedodedo.... million dollars.

While I am dismayed that these idiotic 3-strikes ideas keep coming back like zombies; I am more curious that anyone feels the need to encrypt anything more than their email to keep snooping ISPs and government loonies from reading same; nothing to hide, blah, blah, blah...
I mean, you're only transferring non-proprietary, non-IP stuff, right?
I have a better solution. Everybody switch to open source free software. Problem solved.
I wish the BSA could flip a magic switch and end software piracy overnight. A few people would pay $600 (or whatever it's going for now) for Photoshop, but the vast majority would go find something else, and discover that Gimp does everything they need, and is just about as good as Photoshop.
Same with every other piece of software, including Windows. End software piracy, please. It would be awesome.
Let's just be honest and up front that this is a war over price and profits (often egregious profits), and that the people of this world have voted en mas with our efforts, and said NO we will not pay that much.
I admit that in the fray, we have not managed to pay a lot of hard working people. That needs to be rectified, but NOT AT THE POINT OF A GUN.
We cannot lay down and cower while they demolish our rights, rewrite our laws into fascism. I would rather trust the good will of humanity to pay creators voluntarily, than the short sighted machinations of our current governments and industries.
We also should not overlook the fact that We The People have bought and paid for a gagillion fifillion dollars of computers and networks, and invested equal hours of our labor learning and making them work for us. One of the jobs they do is to duplicate, store, distribute, promote, and organize information. That includes almost everything that content distribution industries used to do for a living.
I'll be damned if some coke snorting music industry exec. is going to force me to hire them to do a job I can do for myself. (stereotype = yes, deserved = well enough)
Everyone seems to talk about stealing when they mention copyright. Until I see the public's interests and investments given fair hearing, I will advocate for un-defeatable public freedom. And now that I think about it, I don't see why that would ever be a bad idea: to have software that absolutely guarantees privacy, anonymity, and the permanent inability for anyone to ever take away our rights.
The internet is virtually a utility at this point, they going to start shutting off peoples electricity because it powers the computers they use to pirate stuff? I didn't think so. Moreover why the fuck would the ISPs be even remotely interested in participating in this. "Hey guys, the BSA, MPAA, and the RIAA say we should disconnect paying customers because they are committing copyright infringment". Call me crazy, but unless the three aforementioned organizations are going to pay the ISPs to disconnect people I don't see this doing much for the ISPs bottom line.
Then of course we have the prospect of getting the courts involved, which sounds great, lets waste more tax payer dollars sorting out this fucking mess, it's not like we aren't wasting enough time and money locking up potheads in our overcrowded prison systems.
If a trade organization is for something, consumers should be against it. No trade organization has ever proposed anything that was to the benefit of the consumer. DMCA is a prime example of just how wrong these proposals from trade organizations are for everyone else.
BTW, an idea: if a user uses Bit Torrent to pirate, thus breaking the ISP's terms of service, or the law, or whatever:
Use the traffic filtering tech. to block that user's Bit Torrent traffic. Or eMule, or whatever. Three strikes, you're blocked. Take it to court if you need to. Fix the wiring, but don't pull the plug right out of the wall.
While I hate to compromise with these agendas in the current climate, it would also HELP the argument to leave innocent uses of these protocols alone, while directly supplying the means. Most of us tech types seem to immediately grasp the absurdity and unfairness of the blanket anti-P2P network management policies we have seen so far. Maybe this is a sensible way to supply the missing logic.
Another argument in favor of this is that it supplies just focus to the law. You don't screw a whole family, you don't overstep. Cutting off an internet connection is a step too far (cut off the power too, take away the house that keeps the computer dry, etc...) No, just block the offending protocol for a penalty period.
Graduated response: Big fines are not working, so lets try kicking them off the internet.
Good thing they're going after XxInternationalDeathKiller2000xX downloading a pirated copy of Photoshop 9 or whatever. Instead of the stores engaging in large scale, commercial piracy in places like Turkey, China, Argentina, Malaysia, etc. I remember walking around those stores and thinking to myself the double standard. These countries let massive pirating operations run wily-nily and the big organizations do a little saber rattling and that's it. But if bobby-joe downloads a recorded baseball game from piratebay, to the pit of despair with yee! Which by the way nobody escapes from.
On another note I love reading the descriptions off those pirated DVDs. It's like they paid a hippy on LSD to first write his manifesto in Japanese. Then convert it to English using babel fish.
@exploder: I think the penalty blocking of an offending protocol for a reasonable period of time is a good stop-gap solution. But really, the underlying problem is and always shall be that the "goods" being offered by the content holders are valued by the holders at a higher price than common people want to pay. Unless and until the content holders are willing to budge a smidgeon in the direction of working with the common man to re-value the goods, then this shall always be a problem and the common man and ISP are going to bear the brunt of all the enforcement problems.
What is going on with "piracy" is simply civil disorder. Many infringing individuals know now that they are doing something wrong. They're doing it because many people are wanting to stick it to the man who is trying to get fat off minimal effort, at the cost of a hard-working Joe. If Adobe truly, sincerely, utterly believes that the latest version of Photoshop is worth $600-$700, then they need to prove to the common man how that's worth their hard earned money. Coming from a graphic designer's standpoint, I've watched Illustrator, Dreamweaver, Premier, Photoshop, and about a metric buttload of other design programs develop from one version to the next. The changes implemented in these different versions are not significant or life-altering enough to warrant the purchase of a new full license. When I was a college student and got discounts (pathetic though they were), it was slightly better to swallow. Maybe they have discounts now available for "upgrades" to the newest versions. I don't know. I don't care. They did all they could to suck up as much cash as possible in the time I was in college, that I'm so utterly jaded to their abilities to understand what we working people have to go through for their precious licenses that I don't feel they any longer deserve my money. I'm still working off Illustrator 10 and Photoshop 7 as a result. Screw buying the newer versions. Show me a damned good reason to drop my dollars.
ISPs could do more things to encourage legal uses of content licenses. But it is not their place to have to. The problem lies with the disparity between the content creators/license holders and the public. The public is rebelling. Instead of addressing the reasons as to why they're rebelling, the content holders are just trying to heavy hand their way through forcing money out of the public. Lines of communication need to be opened, and practices need to change to truly resolve this.
Again, with the traffic analogy. If you use your car to steal something from a store, do you get your license taken away? No.
Someone, please, remind me: just who the fuck is BSA in the law enforcement hierarchy?
Somehow I cannot recall the date when we introduced this new force...
And here I thought the BSA had fucked off years ago after all that hullabaloo about random inspections on corporate Windows licenses and shit.
"The group wants action because, as it says, "last year our industry lost over $50 billion (USD) worldwide," though this includes all sorts of software piracy and counterfeiting, not just online file-sharing. It's easy to be skeptical of this number—it's more than the combined worldwide earnings of all motion picture box office receipts ($28 billion) and the major labels' recorded music sales ($18 billion)."
I've no doubt they think they lost something. But if they claim it they should also be able to prove it. So far there have been lots of figures thrown around, but why is it that none have ever been proven or verified by third party independant verification? Why is it that the very industry that claims the loss never wants to release the actual figures they claim shows a loss? Why is it when the executives for big content get on the stand in court they say they don't know of a loss (the recent Jammie Thomas case/vedict and the RIAA - yes, I know its the BSA here but they have the same "because we said so" concept as the RIAA)? Simply throwing a figure out and using that figure as justification to start what basically amounts to a witch hunt and using the ISP caught in the middle as the vehicle of penalty, is wrong.
I like this idea, however impossible it is, I like it It would be awesome to watch all the execs freak out
I think that the BSA'a members are the victim of their own success. They've succeeded in cornering the market on certain types of applications, often by using proprietary formats or other questionable techniques. These formats have became the defacto standards for on-line communication in certain areas. Buying (technically more like leasing) all of these programs could cost thousands of dollars, but are a prerequisite for participating in certain kinds of conversations or obtaining certain government services or applying for a job (think of an employer who requests resumes in MS Word format).
Many people are not in a position to shell out this kind of money, yet are left with little choice if they want to participate in these conversations, deal with government agencies or get a job. The work-arounds that exist often fail to deliver. Imagine that you use Open Office to convert your resume to a Microsoft format and it fails to display 100% correctly on a perspective employers computer with the latest Microsoft software. Some government agencies will no longer send you paper forms because you can supposedly get them online. If you're Internet connection is disconnected because your or your roommate's activities, you're out of luck.
I believe that the BSA's proposals could only be warranted if free or cheap alternatives exist to their products and those alternatives really work 100% of the time (or at least as well as the commercial products).
You want three strikes yet you lost trillions of dollars which we are now footing as taxpayers. How about each taxpayer gets a billion dollars from the UAW, Banks, Investment brokers, insurance companies, etc. And then talk about lost money, we just gave you 5 trillion dollars and we don't even get a say in how you blow it.
I for one think the rest of you are way out of line here. How can you guys stand for Big Piracy taking advantage of innocent content providers just trying to do their job? I mean, look at it! I called it Big Piracy! It must be evil! How can you guys even argue for Big Piracy? You must be getting paid to do so. I can think of no other reason that anyone would argue your point. Yup, no other reasons. And all this crap about people being disconnected unfairly is just baseless scare-mongering perpetrated by Big Piracy and parroted by people without any critical thinking skills. As long as the people who are handling the disconnections are smart enough, there won't be any problems at all with the policy. And although this technically violates the letter of the Constitution in numerous ways, well, the Constitution is a living document after all. This is a new time that calls for new answers, not ye olde days when words like "liberty" were thrown around. Liberty is just a noose to hang yourself with, after all. And sure, this isn't *technically* the best answer, or even a good one, but look at this scary statistic I found on a biased source's website: $50 billion of our money simply lost into thin air! You might argue that even if this statistic were true, that there are other reasons for it that have little to do with the subject at hand, but come on, now's not the time for critical thinking or analysis! If we just sit around and "think", we'll doom ourselves permanently! Now's a time for action! We need to do this NOW, or it will never get done!
For those of you who went to a public school, that's sarcasm. It never ceases to amaze me how people are able to clearly identify government overreach and faulty lotic when it hurts them, but when the government overreach would help them, suddenly there's talks of "living documents" and "social justice" and "calls to action".
^^^^ This is a really good thread. Makes me happy to see so nobody is fooled.
I'm really bummed out that ARS doesn't have + and - buttons beside each comment. They have it on Spiked Humor where I also hang out, and it's really satisfying to vote up comments, show your support even when not posting. And occasionally vote down trash (it gets hidden around -8 on Spiked, with a reveal button). It also reduces the need for Quote...^this type posts, or Quote...TROLL posts, making the threads a little more compact.
My + finger is just itchin' on this thread.
Quick idea here, details below if you're interested. Scheme to balance P2P abuse, net neutrality / traffic discrimination, and "three strikes" type issues:
P2P abuse incident = ISP gets valid complaint(s), notifies user, can block P2P until user replies.
3 abuse incidents = user has ONLY the offending P2P protocol blocked by ISP for 1 year.
Clean record = user has full speed, unfettered P2P access.
- supplies focus to penalty, prevents over-reach.
- honors innocent until proven guilty principle.
- gentle enough to avoid most legal burdens for most cases.
- gives industry a pragmatic solution without stomping innovation.
- solves unfair P2P traffic shaping issues by correctly matching solution to problem.
- mandatory whenever filtering is in user's provider stream, fixing the upstream filtering debate.
Further suggestions and details:
Complaints = Required licensing / certification of complainants, and automated ISP matching/verification of complaint details against ISP user records to help insure legitimacy.
Abuse incidents and notices = An abuse incident is caused by one or more complaints, ending when user makes a verified human response to an ISP abuse notice. If user fails to respond within 2 days, offending protocol / traffic can be temporarily blocked by ISP until response is made and problem can be rectified. Notices by email, with a logged and verified user response system to prove receipt, including a step where the user either chooses to temporarily block further offending activity, or accepts liability for continued abuse. This protects people on holidays, parents with "stray" children, users of shared connections, and hijacked accounts. It gives users and ISP's the tool for short term mitigation.
Expiry = all abuse incidents expire after 1 year, and are invalid without matching ISP and complainant logs of user activity for that period. This ensures prompt enforcement against clear repeat abusers.
Penalty for abuse = after 3 abuse incidents, ISP blocks offending protocol for 1 year without legal proceedings. Or it could be whenever there are three or more unexpired abuse incidents, the account is blocked.
Costs = complainants pay a small fixed fee to ISP's per complaint, to discourage flooding, and so users don't pay whole cost (would be unfair because a complaint is not proof justifying burden).
Recourse = user can opt for court by a standardized short hearing. ISP initiates contact, and all complainants must respond, or user wins before proceedings must begin. ISP must supply ALL usage and complaint records to all parties for $50 each. Hearing would allow standardized written submissions from complainants. Outcomes would be either side winning, with or without liability for small limited legal expenses, at judge's discretion on hearing the facts. Expense limits $100 for complainants, $1000 for defendant(s), $100 court fee per losing party, at judges discretion. Proceedings could move to trial under special circumstances if user's argument is accepted by a judge.
Exemptions = ISP's without ability to filter / block traffic are exempt. If they lease lines from an ISP who implements this function, then they must accept it and pass it to their subscribers.
Added balance = any complainant loses right to submit complaints for 1 year if they are found to have submitted 3 or more fraudulent complaints.
These details need a lot of working out, but the basic premise seems like a reasonable compromise.
I have no problem with 3 strikes as long as it goes both ways. Get accused of issuing a bogus complaint 3 times, and you don't get to issue any more complaints (for however long their own 3 strikes rule lasts).
Ok, I'm sorry, I thought the covered it. Maybe I should have added [/sarcasm]
I didn't know the public's investments had anything to do with the IP the MPAA, RIAA, and BSA are whining about? How's that go? I don't know that any of us truly believe the numbers that these three groups pull directly from their collective behinds and trot out as if they were perfumed facts. Also, I think you will find VERY willing "help" from the ISPs, as they are beholden to the "big content" folks for permission to re-broadcast movies, tv, radio, music...just about everything except software. You there; Comcrap, Verizon, ATT, TW...you want to show folks our stuff and not pay out YOUR wazoo...you better step up to the plate and DO YOUR STUFF FOR US. Does anyone here trust them NOT to rub the bunions?
Now there's the problem. Who thinks this won't really be abused and we won't be getting the shaft...again (still). They have the money. They have the lawyers.
They can buy all the political clout they want.
It'll never happen -- they know they'd quickly feature in front-page news, when they got caught with multiple out-standing offenses. Even the ignorant/believing masses would start to catch on.

Here's my graduated response to the BullShitA$$holes.
1. Bitch slap.
2. Roundhouse kick, loosening at least one tooth.
3. Sharp karate kick in the nuts.
Repeat and rinse thoroughly. In a better world, these people would be put behind either bars or the hedges of Happy Acres.
From all these "block a protocol" ideas, what happens when one of the kids uses HTTP to pirate something? Whole family loses web access?
Something is seriously wrong with you.

AUSTIN - An off-duty Austin police officer shot and killed a dog inside a pet store Wednesday night.
Police tell KVUE News APD Officer Leslie Lyons was working security at the Petco store near Lakeline Mall.
They say a 16-year-old girl brought a pitbull on a leash into the store around 7:20 p.m.The dog got loose and attacked a maltipoo dog.
"A pitbull came and just started mauling on this dog. It took five of us to try to get the pitbull off," said witness Jessica Ewald. "There were five children right in the vicinity of this pitbull."
After trying to separate the animals, people inside the store asked the security guard to help. She made sure no one was close to the dogs, then fired her weapon, killing the pitbull.
"She had the foresight to tell everybody to move out of the way. There was nobody in the background," said APD Asst. Chief Steve Deaton. "Once she had a clear shot, she took the shot, or two."
The other dog survived and is being treated at a nearby animal hospital.
Neither dog has a known history of violence.
Austin police say Officer Lyons is under investigation, though Deaton says he does not believe she violated any of the department's policies regarding animals. Lyons remains on full duty as the case is investigated.

Douglasville Officials Settle Lisa Valentine Headscarf Case
DOUGLASVILLE, Ga. - Douglasville city officials agreed today to pay $27,500 in damages to a Muslim woman who was thrown in jail for refusing to remove her headscarf.
Lisa Valentine was trying to enter the Douglasville Municipal Courthouse in 2008, when an officer told her she would not be permitted to do so wearing her headscarf.
A dispute followed and Valentine was arrested.
In Wednesday's settlement, Douglasville city officials acknowledged that Valentine did not physically fight with the officer, which she was initially accused of doing.
