Hello, everyone,

I don't know where to put it, so I put it here (feel fre to move it, if it doesn't seem to be in the appropriate area) :

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/02/08/riaa_wants_filters_for_end_users/

The RIAA seems to have come to the conclusion that filtering everyone's data is the best method to suppress illegal downloads, or so I understood this.

Seems they read too many German news recently, with all of the "Bundestrojaner" ("Federal Trojan" and such.)

*shakes head*

They are losing relevance and getting desperate ... and starting to threaten ISP's. The only reason the ISP's have interest is because bandwidth is money for them.
