pisses me off how screwd up this countries priorities are.. the riaa is sueing 12 year olds for money they dont have while terrorist are getting nukes over on the other side of the world, but thats a whole different politcal debate, so i will refrain from that topic. the riaa is lame, simply put.
It seems to me that people might have more respoect for the recording industry if they didn't "screw" us when they sell CDs. A blank CD is signficantly cheaper then a blank tape and it last signficantly longer then a tape so why is a CD signficantly more expensive? -my gripe with the industry.
Seems to me that they need a new business model (like itunes).

Unless you sign something, or there is language about it in your contract with the ISP, I wouldn't advise taking
this to mean that they (your ISP) will not willingly give it (a full account of your file sharing activity) up to those
RIAA bastards.

ya,
as i have read this thread i agree with almost everything everyone has said today...
we can sue 12 yr olds but we can't work together to fight against our contries enimies...
i hope that the ISP's continue to fight back agaist the Patriot Act and DMCA
Always check your terms of service...

Is Cox providing the names of suspected unauthorized file sharers to the RIAA? Cox has complied with subpoenas obtained by the RIAA and issued under the DMCA by providing names and addresses of alleged copyright infringers to the RIAA only upon receipt of a valid subpoena requesting the information. Cox’s actions are both lawful and consistent with the notice we have provided to our customers in our privacy and acceptable use policies. Cox will continue to respect the privacy of our customers while also meeting our legal obligations
My ISP Cox Communications is basicly giving away the user info.
