AT&T To Spy For NSA< RIAA< & MPAA

AT&T has recently announced that it will develop technology that will attempt to keep pirated matrial off of it’s network… From the looks of this article, though, that will entail deep packet inspection and monitoring. Users who are not comfortable with this type of surveillance can just get a new ISP, right? Not necessarily: “In addition to running a massive network of its own, AT&T runs a good chunk of the backbone infrastructure in the US. It’s a rare bit of traffic that can make it to its destination without passing on to an AT&T-owned network. If the company deploys its anti-piracy technology to all data passing through its networks, AT&T’s “solution” could affect most US Internet users.”
