[kictanet] IF CCK CHOOSES TO MONITOR INTERNET TRAFFIC, WILL IT ALSO MANAGE TO BLOCK TORRENTS THAT CONSUME BANDWIDTH?

[Victor Kapiyo]

I think that what's needed is consumer education to help people understand
the effect of such download sites on copyright etc., and at the same time,
a call on the copyright owners to reduce the prices of their products and
also to make them readily available so as to reduce the incentives for
people to use torrent sites, or better yet find better ways of using P2P
sites. While blocking sites such as piratebay may be options, i think such
measures need to be balanced with the right of citizens to access
information freely, without unnecessary restrictions, since i believe that
there is legitimate 'copyright free' information that is transmitted in
peer networks.
