Is this going to effect the free music sites like Slacker, Pandora and Spotify?



I hope it doesn't bother Pandora.. since I actually pay for their Pandora One service.

No chance. They are legitimate music streaming sites. As long as you aren't ripping music off Pandora and seeding it on torrent, you'll be fine.

From what I read about this, seems like the ISP will record what you're doing but will look at it only if a content provider accuses you of copyright infringement, then the ISP will send you some warning letters which can escalate to throttling your speed and terminating your account.

Not sure for how long will the ISP keep records of your internet activities.
