Interesting posts are arising at the official IW forums regarding cable companies contacting MW2 players regarding ‘running servers on their home connection’ and ‘excessive file sharing through peer to peer connections’. This is in direct line with the article I wrote earlier regarding ‘IWnet forces most MW2 players to violate their ISP´s TOS & AUP’.
So most people seem to blame Activision for this, but I have to say that this package sniffing of ISPs is what I find far more ridiculous. I just ordered MW2 on Tuesday and should my provider (now Vodafone) have any problems with me playing that I'm going to tell them to bugger off or cancel my contract because I wanted to do that anyway and what I'm doing would hardly be illegal. :laugh4:
Of course it's bad for people who can't easily switch.
Isn't this kind of sniffing exactly what net neutrality is supposed to prevent or did I misunderstand something there?
And as a related question, if a lot of people are not even allowed to host a server on their connection, what about Opera Link where everyone can turn their browser into a fileserver?
So what do the wise people here think? Is it all the fault of inconsiderable companies like Activision who should have known that people violate other contracts by using their product or are those other contracts just wrong?
