Re: Suspected = guilty no matter what said by Linklist:said by Chiyo:the ISP shouldn't be able to tell me what I can and can't visit because they suspect me of being a pirate.
It was inevitable that the ISPs got onboard with discouraging copyright infringement. They are the ones in the best position to be enforcement cops. The MPAA & RIAA are helping cover the costs. And the White House is backing the agreement. It isn't three strikes, but ISPs will take actions against violators they feel is appropriate. How about MPAA and RIAA foot 100% of the cost. Why should an ISP shoulder the cost of the MPAA or RIAA recover its lost revenue (once lost revenue is actually proven). |

You have to keep in mind, Verizon and AT&T aren't just the ISP anymore. They are also selling the video service, audio channels, etc. Reducing pirated downloads results in more people subscribing to their premium channels. (or so they are spinning it) |
