Well, well, the RIAA has finally followed the Lunatics’ recommendation to stop suing music fans. Now they come up with a scheme where the ISPs are the heavies.

It seems when an ISP customer is downloading illegally, the RIAA will contact the ISP. It will now be the ISP’s responsibility to slap the infringers’ wrists via e-mail. If the infringing does not cease, more e-mails will come; until finally, the alleged criminal’s Internet access is either watered down or shut off, or they see themselves in court.

This seems more civilized, you’ve got to admire the treachery of the RIAA. They got the Isps to be their enforcers, and have successfully eliminated due process for accused downloaders. This is screaming Big Brother. Plus with the continued popularity of P2Ps, that’s going to be a lot of emails. The Lunatics predict this new policy is going to be a bear to enforce and is another losing policy.

The Lunatics want to know, who is going to protect the innocent? Comcast? That’s a chilling thought.
