Comcast, Cox join RIAA antipiracy campaign
Found on CNet News on Tuesday, 24 March 2009
Joe Waz, a senior vice president at Comcast, the nation's second largest ISP, told a gathering of music industry executives that the company has issued 2 million notices on behalf of copyright owners, according to multiple people who were in attendance.
An AT&T spokeswoman said that the ISP has not threatened anyone with the disabling of service but acknowledged that warning letters sent to customers, the company says it reserves the right to terminate service.
To those who advocate for Internet users, however, any plan that threatens to shut off someone's Internet access without hard evidence is unfair.
The RIAA can't even come up with bulletproof evidence in front of a court. I doubt it will increase efforts to be accurate with their accusations. Also, if you have to send letters to 2 million customers, even the most thick-headed should realize that there's time for a change of the old business models.
