Well, deep down.. I knew it was just a matter of time...
I came across this story on ars technica, after someone threw it up on digg. I have to say it made me sad... but at the same time, I could see it coming a mile down the road:
AT&T willing to spy for NSA, MPAA, and RIAA
An excerpt from the article, which sounds right on the money:
The first step for AT&T is coming up with a technological solution that works: something that can effectively filter out illicit traffic while protecting its users' privacy. That's a tall—if not impossible—order. YouTube hasn't managed to do it even for video yet, and that's when customers are sending them entire files which they can scan at their leisure. Monitoring all the files sent through BitTorrent—which splits them into tiny pieces—could be even more difficult; doing it in real-time sounds both expensive and impossible.
Let me her what you think about this either via comments or direct emails.

wow, you'd think after all this time, AT&T would learn.. they dont "create" well. actually, most of what systems they try to create, Fail.. and Fail miserably until someone else takes over to fix or cover up the error, which usually takes a vast amount of time, patience and customer money.. hmm.. this sounds like a disaster waiting to happen. Bastard spy wannabees.
