A basis of our modern society.... Well, not anymore. Fascism rules the roost. You are convicted on the spot.
It's the roaring 20's again and the Mafia is getting going.
Has no one in Government learned from history? Other than kickbacks and bribes.
An ISP user tax is flawed in that it automatically accuses all users of filesharing violations(like police roadblocks accuse every driver of drinking alcohol). If one user out of ten thousand has broken a law, then that user must be brought to court to face punishment(provided that the evidence was gathered in a 'legal' manner). And in these cases, the Judge rules about no Internet use for a set time and then jail time if the 'crime' is severe enough..
Especially if its not the government investigating and doling out the punishment. If its corporations doing the monitoring, and sending the DMCA notices, and the ISP's comply. It doesn't seem right. If the government did surveillance it would probably be privacy violations.
