Harder to sue end-users ? (Score 1)

If this proposal was to be enacted, I'd be curious to see whether it hampers efforts by SOCAN to then sue or harass file swappers. By forcing royalties from the ISPs, they're effectively saying 'Yes, we know our content gets swapped on this channel, and we're taking our share', and lending it an air of legitimacy. Presumably, that's not the intent, though, and they want to extract royalties and continue to persecute the end user by other means.

Regardless, that could be an interesting development.
