   That's a noble sentiment, Marc, but Teksavvy don't have the financial   
   resources to fight the thing to (say) the Supreme Court. All they can do   
   is demand to see a court order, and (perhaps) convince some other   
   interested party (with deeper pockets) to intervene before the order is   
   granted.   
      
   If I were a Teksavvy customer, downloader or no, I'd want them to be   
   putting their profits back into technical innovation and infrastructure,   
   not into a holy war against "patent trolls."   
      
   Teksavvy are being targeted because they have a small, pretty   
   knowledgable base of private customers and cheap bandwidth; Voltage   
   aren't going to get into a scene where they get a court order that names   
   the Montreal Canadiens and the Airport Hilton as "infringers" that they   
   can never do anything with; they're going to get real names of real   
   people that they can get at.   
      
   Get a VPN. I'd suggest Witopia ...

   Fine then, I'm drinking coffee and rolling cigarettes and looking   
   out at the hot baked street and a lady just walked by wiggling it   
   in tight white pants, and we are not dead yet.
