Story: ISPs stand firm after P2P ruling
Proper Process
Sticking to the case in point although my biggest gripe is infected PCs. If a person or company provides suitable evidence that "illegal" material is being hosted via an ISP then as I said, the ISP should notify the user that the complaint has been made along with the evidence presented. The user can then either act on the information, or query the issue. Just because there is a good customer involved does not alter the issues. There were examples of unsavoury people using business and acedemic networks as depositories unbeknownst to the owners, who were later fined heavily. This process would have made them aware much earlier. I do not mean for the ISP to either monitor the traffic or disclose identities, but a lot of end users are not aware they are breaking the law and desist as soon as they are so told. If the people choose to ignore valid warning and continue, then the due process of law can take over where the copyright owner can pursue as they do now.
