ISP Bans RIAA to Protect Its Customers

[DukenukemX]

It seems that ISPs are fighting on our side. You can go here (http://slashdot.org/articles/02/08/20/1123227.shtml?tid=95) to read all about it.

Not to long ago the RIAA had a suit against a ISP that didn't block a chinesse web site that hosted mp3s. You can check it out here (http://stacks.msnbc.com/news/797395.asp?cp1=1).

It's getting interesting how the RIAA is abusing the DMCA act. It won't be long before Microsoft or the RIAA have total access to our PCs. Just like to see what everyone thinks about this.

Ohh and welcome back AGN. :thumbsup:

The RIAA is after us. They have been after us ever since this whole thing started. Strangely, until a couple of years ago, I didn't know who the hell they were.

I first tried Napster in December 1999. I lost the opportunity to use it not long after, as the university blocked it for "bandwidth" reasons. The block was mentioned in a March 2000 Maclean's article as something the RIAA was involved with. I declared war.

I may go and find that for you guys. I wanna read that again, now.

That's great. All ISPs should no longer provide access to the RIAA. Great idea, IMO.

Yeah, stick it to them! Damn them for taking away our rights to steal music!

Be sure to update me further on the Cyclone-RIAA front.

It's not about stealing music, it's about the RIAA being whiney bitches.
