So basically what this will do is educate the CEOs that piracy will still happen regardless of these restrictions and hopefully one day the US will stop wasting tax payer's $ over nickle and dimes.

If your a customer of one of these ISP providers, will using VPN have any effect on their nonsense?

No really as all data goes via their headend, that's why people still get picked up even if they use IP hiders and stuff.
There's nothing you can do that will hide your IP or make it untraceable bar using someone elses connection.
If you did try hiding your IP correctly you'd never get any packets of any kind thus making you disconnected from the net overall.
It's part and parcel of using the net you have to be seen to be on the net and to be unseen means your not on the net.

IP spoofing may not hide you, but a good VPN will...sure, the ISP will know you are connecting to a VPN if they are paying attention...they can even tell you are downloading or uploading a lot...but they won't know what it is; no way to prove that piracy is happening.
Of course, this law is written in a way that violates constitutional rights anyway, so maybe just suspicion is enough.

Why buy a product from companies that support the RIAA/MPAA/ETC? Well, there are arguments on both sides of that...but as for buying the internet connection, there isn't much choice for most people. Where I live there is just Verizon Fios and Time Warner Cable...the only other internet option is Dish, and that sucks.

My neighbor has been downloading audio and video files for years from different bittorrent providers. She used Peerguardian for a long time, and now with her running Vista, she uses Peerblock. She doesn't use a VPN and insists Peerblock protects her. I told her there is no guarantee that product will keep you safe from RIAA/MPAA or any of the contractors they hire to identify you. Anyway its falling on deaf ears. I think she will be unpleasantly surprised one day.

Im pretty sure if someone is sucking down 5gb a day, they would obviously know that you were pirating something. Even if you had some legal streaming account with someone, they could get those records and see that you were not using it at that time.

If everyone would boycott the music and movies then they would be forced to do something. I understand that amazon and netflix has provided an avenue but that is poor at best.
When will they realize that it is about wanting to share what ever we want to share without penalty.
