It feels dirty to agree with an ISP on something. But even the worst corporations are on the right side of something from time to time I suppose.

    ISPs just don’t want to be made to police copyright offenses for free. if the RIAA/MPAA paid them money to aid in enforcement, you can bet they be doing it in a heartbeat.

    Internet access needs to be made a utility and treated as such, essential as any other.

      they want to bring in the most money and expend the least effort. I can respect that.

      Policing customers/users is a PITA and generally sux to do even on the smaller scale of an office. Much cheaper and easier to do nothing.
