Isn’t AT&T the same company that said “77% of all (current release) movie leaks are from insiders?”

Why yes! It is!

So. AT&T is going to tell the MPAA that 3/4 of the movies on t3h interwebs are from it’s own people, but they are going to provide filtering services to remove those leaked files from the p2p networks.

It’s their network, so I suppose they have a right to do whatever they want with it. But talk about double-dipping. Nice work if you can get it.

Seems like it would be so much easier for the movie studios to get rid of the problem at the source. I’m in favor of executions for any movie industry person (and the direct chain of command for that induhvidual) that leaks a video. And, I fully believe the movie and music studios should make movies and music, and lock it up in a vault without releasing it. That will stop the piracy 100%. I guarantee it.

So if I’m to understand correctly, AT&T is going to kiss up to the powers that be by spying on their own subscribers.

Didn’t something just like this happen last year?

I wonder if they will be monitoring only their customer base or everyone who uses their lines (3rd party ISPs).
