If they don't squeal, then they get a nice long court battle with nice fat lawyer fees. Its a lose-lose for the ISP and a Win-Win situation for the RIAA.
Well, you have to assume the landlord knows nothing of the tenant's activities. Most ISPs don't know what their clients do unless notified by other people, as is the same with landlords.
The music industry has a good plan: put an ISP through court and make them lose ton of money on lawyers and the like....
OR
Sell out your customers and thus netting the industry tons of money from lawsuits and settlements.
What is even more disturbing is that the seize was legal in the first place.
Do they mean, "rat out others?"
And going after the ISP only shows that they aren't trying to protect their artists and only want cash flowing into their pockets. That is the same as arresting a landlord because his tenants had some pot in their apartments.
And I HAVE seen blue screens with Windows XP. A registry corruption caused a blue screen upon bootup, and after hardware changes I once would get a blue screen for about 1/4 a second before it would restart again. I had to reinstall both times.
Also, XP IS A shithole. It is shitty that every time I have to reinstall I have to call them up to get my OS activated -- because I changed my hardware. So I pay $100 (Home version, why bother getting Pro if I have linux anyways) and then have to ask them if I can use the product that I have liscenced to me?
Microsoft gives people free blue screens of death.
You can choose between the different blue screens, such as NT's or Win98's.
What more could you want?
"Hey, son. I found out that you were looking at lesbian porn. Do you admit to this?"
"Uh....Yes, Father. I'm sor-"
"Okay, son. Upload it to my computer."
