Cuban: Block Peer to Peer

November 20, 2007

Billionaire gadfly Mark Cuban has posted an open letter to Comcast on his Blog Maverick site blasting the cabler for allowing peer-to-peer "freeloaders" to hog up bandwidth. 

He writes: P2P content distributors are nothing more than freeloaders. The only person/organization that benefits from P2P usage are those that are trying to distribute content and want to distribute it on someone else’s bandwidth dime.

The Dallas Mavericks owner/Internet impresario then implored the cable companies to charge a commercial-rate "premium" for P2P players for their bandwidth use.

HE might better focus on people NOT blocking his movies from their brains.

Lets take a look at how that "Redacted" thingy worked out for him....heh.

Perhaps now they will start making movies about Paul Smith Medal of Honor winner or get the rights to Lone Survivor...or to any of the Michael Yon stories of IRaq.
