What the Entertainment Industry Really Wants to Do to the Internet (Donna Wentworth)
What the Entertainment Industry Really Wants to Do to the Internet (Donna Wentworth): "
CoCo blog has what European Digital Rights says is the wish list by the European international versions of the MPAA and RIAA (the MPA and IFPI) for Internet service providers: Movie & Music Industry Proposals ISP Self-Regulation. Evidently, they want ISPs to:
- 'remove references and links to sites or services that do not respect the copyrights of rights holders'
- 'require subscribers to consent in advance to the disclosure of their identity in response to a reasonable complaint of intellectual property infringement by an established right holder defence organisation or by right holder(s) whose intellectual property is being infringed'
- terminate contracts of recidivist
- implement instant messaging to communicate with infringers
- implement filtering technologies to block sites that are 'substantially dedicated to illegal file sharing or download services'
- voluntarily store data for copyright enforcement
Did I say 'wish list'? Sorry; that would be 'hit list.' "
