Story: ISPs stand firm after P2P ruling
About Time ISPs were made responsible
I think it is about time that ISPs were made responsible for the crap that emanates from their network. I am fed up with being attacked by infected PCs and being ignored by the ISPs when I complain.
My complaint does ask that the owners are notified that they are infected so that at least they are made aware and can take action.
In this instance of copyrighted material over P2P, the ISP should not have to police the content, but if they are made aware that content is "illegal" then they should have to act on it, in the first instance by notifying the P2P node owner with a ceast and desist nominating the offending material, in case the owner does not know they are actually hosting but giving them time to sort it out, and then follow up with a block of some sort for violating the TOS. These simple notification procedures once in place would then help the rest of us cleaning up the net.
