I’m sure the ISP are in full agreement with the **AAs, the only issue being who shoulders the financial burden. The ISPs would naturally like someone to pay them for the millions of DMCA claims they’ve already enforced, let alone additional enforcement.

You think just because you have and idea, you own it? For thousands of years humankind has been free to communicate and share anything they wish with their neighbors. The internet is simply an extension of this basic concept. It was perfectly normal while I was growing up to swap books, movies, games, music and just about anything else you can think of. We have all been raised to think of sharing as caring. Now instead of simply being able to communicate with the folks next door, each of us can now communicate with every single living person on planet Earth thanks to the internet. What the entertainment industry is demanding of ISP’s simply isn’t possible. Deep packet inspection and other forms of monitoring is no different than the government listening in on every single conversation that every single human on this planet will ever have over their entire lifetime. In addition, three strikes rules and other similar ideas are the equivalent of gagging and shackling someone alone in a jail cell simply for communicating something the governing body doesn’t agree with. There are a number of names for leaders that try to rule their country in this exact same fashion. Fascist, tyrant, dictator. You take your pick. Copyright or no, history has shown time and again that a governing body simply cannot succeed at silencing it’s people. Ever. History also shows that if you push the common folk too far, they will eventually fight back with a vengeance. All art is culture and culture will always belong to the people. Trying to get rich off of culture has always been a foolhardy venture with great risk. If the entertainment industry, ISP’s and government’s of this planet cannot figure out these simplest of truths, then they deserve what they have coming to them.

Just because they say they haven’t made any agreements doesn’t mean they haven’t
made any agreements. All this means is that they may not want anyone to know about
any agreements until all of the isp’s are on board. Lying is the language of the mega corp.
