How Media Giants Want To Choose Where You Can Surf
from the sic-the-lawyers-on-'em dept
The latest stupidity from the folks at the RIAA and various big media company lawyers is that they’ve been stymied in their efforts to track down a certain site that they’re sure is going to bring the entire recording industry crashing down on itself. The RIAA has failed to figure out who hosts/owns the site, and thus they’re suing ISPs to block their customers from reaching the site. Yeah, let’s repeat that for clarity. The RIAA is going to court in order to force ISPs to block access to a site because they’re too incompetent to find the site’s owners themselves. I can’t wait for the offshoot lawsuits. Can we get together a group for a lawsuit against ISPs to block all access to any of the ridiculous things coming out of the entertainment industry these days?

They’ve got to be kidding? Why do they believe they should have more power than the government? I bet the founding fathers never saw this one coming. We need to protect ourselves from ourselves.
ugh
The problem is that it seems to be working, the ISP I am on is actively blocking these sites for fear of a lawsuit…and we’re not even in the States dammit!!!!
