What the F cable companies. First you limit our bandwith and now you cut off services. It seems that on the urging of NY Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, a bunch of cable/internet providers are now blocking access to usenet (and thus blocking access to million of files to download). Come on it seems that these companies keep giving us less for more, it's getting ridiculous.
What I'm more annoyed about here are Attorney General's who simply do something under the guise of "seeking justice" when it's actually for press and a way to create a more publicly recognizable persona and advance your political carereer. Let's be honest here, this is a big move for Cuomo and is getting press (with highly respected outlets like this) writing about. On the other side I'm sure that the cable companies love it as it now cuts down on people's bandwith even more, unless users choose to go to a third party group that they'll have to pay for.
So what do we have here? Politician wins, cable companies win, third party companies win, consumers lose. Keep up the good work.
