Telstra to clamp down on peer-to-peer

So perhaps it is true after all.


In regards to the recent Dallas Buyers Club court case:

There is the question of why were Telstra and Optus not targeted by Dallas Buyers Club when it's highly unlikely none of their customers were guilty of downloading the movie. There appeared to be huge secrecy surrounding this and with Dallas Buyers Club giving a petty excuse why it did not target them despite Telstra and Optus represented the two largest telecommunications companies in Australia.

I worked with them twice on contract many, many years ago. The second period finding out how poor their attitude is to various things, including outer area customers. They've held a similar aggressive attitude right throughout the years.
