In all this, I did not see any mention of the vested interests offering to pay the salaries of those extra employees that it will take the ISP hiring on to do this work. Nor do I see any mention of the vested interests saying they will compensate the ISP for the loss of business that disconnecting paying customers will result in.

What I see is the usual; do this for us at your expense. This is always the theme. Might sound really great to the vested interests but usually when you get down to the money figures, it’s always a loosing operation.

The ISP gets to be the bad guy in PR while the interests get to walk away without a bruise for all but the smartest of those effected.

Only time the ISP comes out the winner is if they too have vested interests that will help cut the cost. Best thing I can think of in that is when the ISP wants to become the on line store to sell you media and they figure they can’t compete with free. They can compete with free but it takes value added and that is something the copyright forces don’t want to bother with because that would mean more time put into the offers and time is money. Money they figure they should make not spend.

Idiocy has no boundaries when it comes to the corporation and their schemes on how to rake in the dough.

Fantastic to see these guys standing up to these bullies, I wrote to them with words of encouragement, you can do the same:

It has never ended, except this time the labels are up against other businesses that have a vested interest in their customers rights.
