Edited by: Che22a on 26/12/2008 02:21:28 "On Friday, the RIAA announced it was abandoning its legal strategy of suing individuals for copyright infringement, and said it had not sued anybody for months." "Under the RIAA's new strategy, internet service providers will notify (.pdf) alleged copyright infringers detected by the RIAA that they need to cease their alleged infringement of the industry's music. Three-time offenders face losing internet access." -source
Do you guys think that this will see a rise in music piracy now that one does not face such harsh penalties as jail time or fines? I do not think that any state or federal government will push for a BAN on internet activity on individuals who violate this new policy. Yay for private companies!You can just switch providers. ^_^

seeing that only the careless people got sued anyway (like that mother who used her credit card to subscribe to Kazaa Pro and then downloaded loads of copyrighted music thinking it was legal, only to then get sued for some ridiculous amount of money which she never actually paid) I don't think anything will change.
Really though, how would ISPs even detect this? How do they differentiate between the person torrenting a pirated movie and the person running completely legal P2P On-demand TV? (like Veoh, or 4OD)

The only way to really keep track of them is to connect to the same torrents you're on, and see your IP as a user. Not hard, every torrent program I've used has the ability to see every IP you're connected to. Another option is to seed it themselves (the ISP or RIAA), and anybody on their own network that starts downloading, BAM you're caught.
It's not as hard as you would think. ____________________

This policy was a total non-deterrent anyway.
Too bad they didn't catch on quick enough for us all not to be cheering when the music industry goes **** up.

The industry's initial mistake was to call the copyright violation practice "piracy". It all went downhill for them from that point.

Aye, because piracy is synonymous with a romantic view of freedom... Do what you want cos a Pirate is free - You Are a Pirate!

One small ISP in Louisiana asks the recording organization, "You want me to police your intellectual property? What's your billing address?"

Nobody cared before and nobody cares now. It has taken them like a decade to figure out that they cant stop piracy by putting random people in jail. They are not too bright, which is also the reason why they cant figure out alternatives to piracy that works (like Spotify for example, which actually has a good chance of pulling people away from downloaded music).

people will always pirate music - whether its recording mix tapes, downloading it from the internet or the new way that will be invented when torrent downloading is eradicated.

That would be illegal, entrapment/honey potting is against the law in the US/UK, and any evidence would be inadmissible, as well running the risk of being found guilty of entrapment.
They simply cannot offer you the real deal, because they would be breaking the law.

Entrapment only applies to law enforcement officials. Companies seeding their own files is a very common occurrence. The biggest case I can personally remember was valve leaking half-life 2 a couple of days before release.

Honey potting applies to all entities. If an IT or music industry is offering people access to their IP's and then calling it in on them, they can't do that, it's against the law.
Yes, they can 'leak' something, but they wont be able to take legal action on the people who obtained the 'leaked' data.
