CNET recently wrote about that the RIAA and MPAA are no longer going after the little guy, but instead are enlisting the help from ISP’s. Today, CNET wrote about an ISP owner in Louisiana who doesn’t mind, as long as he is compensated for his work, but the big companies are slow to pay for protection:
guys you have sent me 3 threats now without proof. We all know IPs are easily spoofed. I have asked for your billing information so we can have a contract signed and full understanding of what i do. If you want me to work for you you should expect to pay. I dont work for free.
All that was needed after that was a “Love, Your Friendly Neighborhood ISP”.
