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.
