ISPS not helping RIAA in piracy fight
 

Last December, the music industry's message to song writers, publishers, and musicians was that antipiracy help was on the way. Hopes soared after the major labels announced that they had convinced a group of telecoms to work with them.

Six months later, the music industry is still waiting to hear from the RIAA which ISPs have explicitly agreed to work with the association. 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."

Piracy started on the high seas once boats entered the water and hundreds of years later we still have pirates on the sea. The internet will never get rid of pirates and piracy on any prerecorded content adult or mainstream. Music was hit in 1997 with Napster and they never recovered and they never will. Musicians are all going back on tour as you can not steal live concerts. Porn started getting hit years ago and now with tubes it is even worst as we all know. Any prerecorded content will forever be pirated as long as the internet is up and running. Welcome to the web. Go Live.

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.

so you want your ISP to disclose your personal info to a private company?

The funny thing is these days the artists don't get paid shit. At least most of them anyhow. The record companies steal their money left and right and now with digital sales there is even more ways to steal from the artists. All the RIAA does is try to make money from a failed business model through litigation.

no, i dont.
