The report does note that Verizon, who has traditionally shied away from playing Internet babysitter, so far has no plans to play along. Some of you might recall that Verizon has battled the RIAA previously over being forced to play content police

Not to say that others didn't, but they were featured doing it mroe.

I think the reason verizon isn't playing along is that they know that if they do, they will end up footing the bill for being the police.
Unless the RIAA finds a way to make the ISPs play along and not burden them with additional costs then I don't see the ISPs cooperating. |

When the Post-911 illegal wiretapping started Verizon resisted then too. Of course they were bullied into it anyway but they were the only one of the big dogs to put up a fight even. You could not call that a profit-driven move. One could argue that it was for PR purposes but I generally think that Verizon is one of the few that believes in civil rights and privacy at some level. How deep that goes is the question... |

| oh oh ... illegal wiretapping. Not engaging into the conversation about the wiretaps that saved Brooklyn Bridge in NYC (among many other things). Verizon is not doing it for customers, they are doing it because once you agree to something you will end up owning it. And they dont want to own it. |

You got to be pretty arrogant and greedy to play along with these big boy called riaa,mpaa
remember riaa and mpaa are actually run by the same group of ppl so don't think they are separate entity
isn't it obvious?
greed breeds corruption
