Music Publishers Sue Cox Communications Over Piracy

wabrandsma (2551008) writes with this excerpt from Ars Technica: BMG Rights Management and Round Hill Music have sued Cox Communications for copyright infringement, arguing that the Internet service provider doesn't do enough to punish those who download music illegally. Both BMG and Round Hill are clients of Rightscorp, a copyright enforcement agent whose business is based on threatening ISPs with a high-stakes lawsuit if they don't forward settlement notices to users that Rightscorp believes are "repeat infringers" of copyright. In their complaint (PDF), the music publishers also decided to publicly post IP addresses.

    Why don't you ask them yourself?
    Since many had their I.P. addresses posted without asking,
    I've decided to post their OPEN contact information here for the people who most likely have questions, comments,complaints,criticism, remarks, analogies, wisdom to offer, demands, commands, quotes and anything else you'd like to stuff their in-box full of.

    Let them know how you feel about their antics, policies, personal grooming, heredity, sexuality, current events, historical occurences, ice cream, politics, religion, car wax, etc. Sometimes it's nice just to let someone know you care...
