[kictanet] Re- IF CCK CHOOSES TO MONITOR INTERNET TRAFFIC (they will be doing nothing new)

[Walubengo J]

@ Mblayo, 
Priority is relative. Torrents could be a "zero" issue for you but might be a big issue for a politician or a Policy guy - depending on what the torrent is sharing. Right now am somehwere @China and am amused to find that twitter.com does NOT work at these of end of the globe. Perhaps it is temporary and it will work tomorrow but highly doubtful;-)  

Meanwhile, Google is chucking moderated results and outrightly refusing to respond to others like "Tiananman Square" (-1 for Joe M ;-). I want to keep trying this search key but fear someone might trace my IP and knock at my door at midnite - shivering :-(
 
@ ./Chucks
Looks like automated technology does work these sides ;-)

walu.
nb: let me know if this mail gets to .KE or it will be quarantined somewhere..

In the grand context of cyber-security and the myriad of daily issues we face as a country, I posit that torrents (read PirateBay) will be a low priority item....

IF U CAN MANAGE TO SEE THESE WITH ALL THE CABLE CUTS...this may help the discussion.

Pirate Bay: Fighting a losing battle?

						
              File-sharing site The Pirate Bay must be blocked by UK internet service providers, the High Court has ruled.
        The Swedish website hosts links to mostly pirated free music and videos.
        But, as the BBC's Daniel Emery explains, copyright holder may
 still be "fighting a losing battle" in the quest to protect their 
material.
