My point

This is like the US gov't trying to sue some random suitcase company because a drug dealer tryed to transport some illegal drug in their suitcase brand in an airport . .

It doesn't really have any base. The ISP provides the service or item . . .the USER however is responsible for what is done with it NOT the service provider

The ISP is not the police nor the inforcer of law . . .that is the governments responsibility.

Hell Cars kill lots of people a year. We should sue FORD because your uncle got drunk and drove his FORD into some old grandma.

What about ISP services

I stumbled upon this thread when search for info about RoadRunner usenet newsgroups.

The point being that TimeWarner (premier RIAA owner) uses RoadRunner to pump out one of the best Usenet feeds of copycat (I hate piracy as a misnomer) bits of music, movies and software.

BTW, the other RIAA owner is Sony who make 3X more profit from selling DVD/CD disk duplicators in their PCs compared to their Music and entertainment divisions.

Ther attempts just generate new solutions

Whoever heard of Piratebay in Sweden 10 years ago? New laws forcing ISPs to police their networks is a joke. As mentioned before, encryption is one method to avoid detection. Another is new software. I've seen one program, I think it was called Mule (no, no eMule) and what it does is send different size chunks of data through several different people's computers before it reaches you while other people's downloads pass through your computer. It's impossible to know who is getting what and who is offering what. There will always be a solution.
