I am glad to hear this. I guess that makes me a supresive person..

I that the issue is again that the whole process seems to be that you are guilty until proven otherwise. Since I am a Canadian, I am not sure where that plays out in your books, but I think it is the Bill of Rights?

Not too mention that neither the RIaa or the isp's an actual Legal body, with a government mandate.

So in this sense Had gone ahead with the common carrier, this sort of thing would not be happening.

So based on this alone could one argue those sort of points. Could one get an injunction too stop this? If not a full lawsuit.?

Since I live in Canada I am not certain.

However it is because it has to do with the fact that your phone company is a Common carrier. Which means that they can not listen in on your phones with out a warrent. You can sue if you relise they do.

However the company can not be Sued because you used its phone lines to order drugs, or to assassinate someone.

Same with the mail.

Since the isp said'no fucking way' to common carrier. I am not sure why they would.

Could you not sue you isp if they threw you off the connection?

Since it seems they would in fact be violating the DMCA? Since in a sense they are breaking the safe harbor rules?

As well as breaking the contract to provide service to you the customer.

Since the isp's were desperate not too have the 'common carrier' status that in a sense would protect you the user as well as the provider from any of these sorts of things.

Would this also not smack of the Riaa that is merely a disgruntled 3rd party. So why would you stop providing to your customers just to someone else happy.

Since the Riaa does not have court order to disconnect then why would the isp bother?
