Really??? Seriously????

Do you seriously think the likes of Comcast, ATT, Verizon, etc wants to loose millions of dollars in revenues by playing this worthless cat and mouse game? You think they want to hand their customers over to their competitors on a silver platter? Get real. This ain't gonna happen.

If all the major ISPs are on board with the RIAA, then it's game over for the subscriber. Although I can't realistically see any of them participating unless there is something in it for them. The RIAA would have to ante up in a big way, but I don't see that happening either.

OTOH, Cox seems to enjoy licking RIAA balls for free out of kindness & generosity, but then again, I'm sure the company sees the throttling "service" they offer as more of an ace in the hole...something to trot out if VOD competition threatens their bottom line.
