Sure , the RIAA has given up on lawsuits , but it ’s got an even good magic : ISPs will do their dirty work for them . Not surprisingly , AT&T and Comcast stepped right up , says CNET . UPDATED .
Since they both vividly recall past PR debacles when it comes to monitoring or borking your internets — AT&T floated and quick end talking about plans for internet - all-inclusive copyright trawl net , and Comcast , well , you know — they’re not ratify any conventional agreements this clip around .
But the gist is that the ISP would be a courier for the RIAA ’s notices , with graduated penalties , like suspension , all the way up to termination . detail go forth to be worked out , according to CNET ’s source , are who would give to mail the takedown notices , and how the ISPs would make up the lose taxation from booting users .
Even though in one sense I ’m not surprised AT&T and Comcast would be the first to act ball with the RIAA , on the other hand , it seems eldritch they ’d go through the extra seek to be the RIAA ’s buttboy , given that they ’re already implementingaggressive dealings management , withmonthly data capsand in Comcast ’s case , slowdown for big user . Especially since the RIAA really has no major purchase over them in price of content , like say movie studios or web , who they depend on for content to deal their serving to customers .

Update : Here ’s the prescribed give-and-take from AT&T : “ While not commenting directly on the RIAA annunciation or speculation , we believe that consumer education is a key element to enabling client to regain and use effectual methods to get to the content they want , and we have also consistently say that automatic cutoff of our client is not something we would do . ” [ Cnet ]
