Looks like everyone who wants to download stuff will just have to do it from their neighbors wireless or from wireless buisnesses, Mcdonalds, Internet Cafes, Libraries, Schools...

you see where i'm going with this.

As I said in the other friend, one of my old teachers who i consider a friend would ride the bus downtown every day. He could get a wireless signial pretty much uninterupted for the entire ride.

I imagine it's even worse in Japan.

Locked wireless networks. Everything will change from here.

 

Even in places whose entire point is that anyone can access the net? Like said McDonalds.

Also, that they only plan to target heavy users meaning and even then only by sending them an email first which gives them the option to wait and see with really no penalty?

I think it won't be enough to convince people to password protect their networks.

Locked networks don't really work in things like Cyber Cafes, Libraries and College campus' where plenty of computers are already connected, a quick jump drive takes care of that problem even if it's restricted just to those computers.

Back when I was in college there were all sorts of peer to peer programs installed on the campus computers.

I think I read somewhere recently they said the DS's online has worked by getting a setting while underground.

Not to mention just switching from ISP to ISP until you run through all four... and the likely emergence of start up companys that would refuse to follow such guidelines.
