| Never ending story
It seems like this battle is never ending. Music industry bitching and complaining about money lost and the public complaining about outrageous prices for CDs, DVDs, and Blue Ray.
Eventually everything makes it to the internet. Give it up RIAA this is a losing battle for you. LOL |

...as long as we have civil liberties and organizations to defend them. As soon as any of the corrupt, crooked megacorps try to introduce anything like that I can guarantee you EFF, ACLU et al will sue their asses to hell - and rightfully so.
The illegal RIAA/MPAA is a classic racketeering crime organization that infiltrated all our main branches: they are most powerful in legislative body but they have considerable clout in the executive and judicial branch as well.
How long does it take for he FBI to build a RICO case against Hollywood, HOW LONG WE HAVE TO TOLERATE these parasites?
Subsequently we also have to deal with crooked, corrupt corps like AT&T or Cox or Comcast - anti-competitive behavior, consumer abuses, monopolies must be rooted out without the smallest tolerance. They either bow or get sliced down, period.

At least you are dealing with big, national, faceless corporations.
Here we have to deal with PenTeleData which I am increasingly convinced is run by some guy in his basement. |

Sounds like another way for them to mis-use the data they collect about there users. I wonder how they will be identifying the supposed illegal content and what recourse the user will have to fight the notification. I'd love for these jerks to get caught using DPI and have the pants sued off them. This kind of content monitoring is a slippery slope. |

| What ISPs send these letters?
"something many ISPs have already been doing for years"
What ISPs are sending letters on their own? For years ISPs have been forwarding take down notices when they were notified by the copyright holder but I wasn't aware they were doing this on their own. |

| Andrew Cuomo has failed.
Why not throw his name on this. He is the attorney general. If he is going to try to ruin the internet and give the RIAA regulatory control over all users, his name needs to be very much connected to it. He is gaining support for going after AIG bonuses despite having no legal way to make any of them give any of the money back. When you investigate someone for a non-crime as an attorney general, is that not harassment and abuse of power?
This guy is just a grand stander who wants to be the next governor who has done nothing but earned head lines. His support of the destruction of the internet proves he is an idiot in the back pocket of big business. |

Re: sounds like
said by Transmaster :The big difference between the RIAA and organized crime is companies represented by the RIAA give massive amounts of money to Politicians. In otherwords the RIAA is a crooked organization with money. How is that any different to organized crime? |

| Personally I think....
I think that Music Companies make plenty of money when their music is played on the radio (that is what the advertising dollars pay for) and when it is played in movies.... Other than that.... we pay Hollywood way too much money.
And we wonder why our Stars go crazy???? |

Re: Personally I think....
Radio doesn't pay royalties. RIAA wants it changed:
»blog.wired.com/27bstroke6/2008/0···dus.html
Internet, cable and satellite broadcasters pay royalties to all participants involved. Singers, musicians and the labels get no royalties when AM-FM radio broadcasters air their songs. Composers and songwriters, however, do get AM-FM royalties, which are set under a complicated and negotiated rate. |

| Buckeye Cablesystem already doing
Buckeye Cablesystem is already doing this. I got a letter from them saying one of my roommates downloaded a movie via bit and that it was my first and last warning. any more issues they'd terminate my account which nobody knows for how long.
If mom and pop ISPs are doing it already I can see others doing it as well. |
