Well the point here is that whether it is legal or not, the RIAA and MPAA should have absolutely NO RIGHTS to go after ISPs. That is like fining the states because drugs get moved over their roads or why for instance are the RIAA and MPAA not suing companies like Rhinosoft or GlobalSCAPE because their FTP programs are used for just as much piracy as the P2P programs are, but the RIAA and MPAA are going for the "easy kills" and in the process killing fair use.
Just recently the MPAA sued the company that makes DVDxCopy saying that making archival backups was ILLEGAL! The judge took less than 24 hours of the 90 days she was allowed to come to a summary decision that software that allowed copies even for archival backup was illegal under the DMCA!
The day that they jail me for making an archival backup of stuff I legally own is the day that they can bite me!
