Music Industry Drafts Code of Conduct for ISPs

Posted by Zonk on Tuesday April 12, 2005 @03:49AM from the because-of-their-moral-high-ground dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The Register is running a story about how the music industry is trying to get ISPs to sign 'code of conduct' agreements to cut people off for excessive bandwidth usage, to turn over details of users on demand, and to block certain 'illegal' websites." From the article: "According to the draft, the duo want ISPs and network operators to 'enforce terms of service that prohibit a subscriber from operating a server, or from consuming excessive amounts of bandwidth where such consumption is a good indicator of infringing activities.'"

all flying discs are "Frisbies"
Probably not. Nearly 100% of competitive discs are discs and I'm willing to bet that competitive disc sales outweight recreational Frisbee sales.
