When the RIAA first announced its new antipiracy project, it didn't name partners. Behind the scenes, industry insiders assured the media that the group would disclose the names of partner ISPs "within weeks." Six months later, however, not one ISP has publicly acknowledged working with the RIAA on a "graduated response."

remember by help the RIAA means
stomping all over fair use rights
violating peoples privacy
assuming people are guilty until they prove they are innocent
and punishing them before they have any proof that person is guilty (based sole on ip address irregardless of who is using the network -- hacker etc)
and you wonder why no isp is willing to say yes we are the scum of the earth that is going to stomp all over your rights just to get the small percentage of people who are doing something wrong.
