Japan joins the march to ISPs being internet cops
said by RangerTX  :said by TK Junk Mail :More and more countries are jumping on the bandwagon. I hope the US passes a law forcing ISPs to boot users who pirate copyrighted music, movies and TV shows. Sweden is joining the UK, France and others in trying to rein in the thieves. » news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20080314/tc···politics Keep dreaming, that is likely all you will be able to do Thanks. I keep dreaming the US joins the rest of the world where ISPs police the internet crooks.

Add Japan to the ranks of countries cracking down on illegal file sharing over the Internet. The Yomiuri Shimbun is reporting that the country's four Internet providers agreed to disconnect Internet connections "of users found to repeatedly use Winny and other file-sharing programs to illegally copy gaming software and music."
Can't say that this comes as a shock. The reaction against illegal file sharing, which began in the United States, has spread to Europe, and now, Asia. Chalk it up to a super-effective lobbying effort by well-organized copyright interests representing software companies, music labels, and the film industry.
