All it will do is anger the pirates, they will say f u to the RIAA and switch providers or leech wi-fi from neighbors.
When the free wi-fi people get a notice they will be shocked, angered, say fu to the RIAA, and switch providers.
I don't pirate and I say F U to the RIAA already.

| my guess is that the p2p networks will increase their usage in encryption. the only problem i can forsee is how to stop the MAFIAA (or other self proclaimed copyright cops) from downloading the torrent file and looking at the IPs to get an idea who has the file. blacklisting can only do so much. |

said by gaforces  :All it will do is anger the pirates It will do more than that; one thing that large companies do is support burdensome regulation on the industry because it hits the small guys much harder than the big guys. In this way it will reduce the competition.
It's not like the big guys like to waste their resources on foolish stuff like this, but they see a clear secondary gain.

Why just music and movies? Why don't they police for illegal software, games, porn (which is still alegal business model) and these people probably lose a lot more of business dollars than the **AAs. |

Re: It wont stop piracy
Dear RIAA,
As a small ISP, I pleased to announce that I have your program to filter illegal copyrights going. I've already written letters for every RIAA employee to have their service terminated by their ISP. I've also enclosed a bill for this service, which was run last month for about 6 hours. The total bill is only $99 million, so please pay up within the next few days or you won't qualify for another "scan" next month.
Thanks and GFY,
Your Local Small ISP

| scary thing is i wasnt joking, ISPs really should charge a researching fee. it does take employee time to get the right info and send the takedown letter to the right email and tell the RIAA/MPAA that it was sent.
