kudos:5 | DMCA letters aren't ignored quotes from the lead-in:
Executives at several ISPs we've spoken to like citing a UK study that claims 72% of P2P users would stop with just a warning. Cox Communications is the only major ISP we know of that terminates repeat P2P violators -- but only after repeat notifications. Cox says they've actually only had to terminate the service of one-tenth of 1% of all users. The Cox experience tends to show the effectiveness of the current notifications against those that would be the most egregious copyrighted-material file-sharers.
In a world where anyone with free software and free websites can record, master, promote and distribute their own music, who needs a record company? But as long as file sharing is around, the RIAA members will have a scapegoat to blame for everything that ails the industry. Everything, that is, except for themselves.
