Your reasoning is sound. Of course ISPs don't want to be sued so they automatically take the material down.
The answer is for the owners of the content (you in this case) to sue the ISPs for wrongly taking the content down. This will remove the presumption of guilt and force them to investigate further. Maybe then they'll stop bowing to the pressure of big business.
While this trend may catch on in ultra-urban settings like NYC (where even McDonalds delivers), I can't see it making its way to mainstream America.
For one thing, who wants to pay for delivery? Second, my biggest gripe with grocery shopping was the crowds, which is why I love 24 hour grocery stores... I simply go at midnight.
I love my Jornada 820. Windows CE device with full laptop keyboard, 8.2 inch 640x480 vga screen, built in v.90 56k modem and an 8 hour battery. For writing, nothing does better.
I picked one up on eBay two years ago for around $250 and it is worth every penny. Not a lot of options for upgrade since the OS is on a ROM but I wouldn't trade mine for anything.
I hear that this is what Skywalker Sound is using to power their facility at the ranch. With George and his new Unholy Trilogy around it never runs out of fuel.
Listen- as long as you monkeys (and you know who you are) continue to support craptastic endeavors like VAN HELSING, Big Media will always control your destiny.
Stop giving these jackasses $55 million for stupid films and their power goes away (and/or we get better movies).
How about a contest where NASA learns how to successfully recover Orbitors? We landed on the moon with the computing power of an Atari 2600 but the drive and ability of that era seem long gone.
I was flying from Cleveland to New York recently and put a large quantity of dark matter in my suitcase. When I got my suitcase from the baggage area, the locks had been busted open and my dark matter was gone! So either it violated a new FAA security rule or one of those baggage guys ran off with it. Either way, I guess these guys won't be able to help me find it.
According to a news story I heard on the radio, your average keyboard has more bacteria than your toilet seat, which makes sense if you think about it. I clean my toilet seat every week but when was the last time you used Lysol on your kb?
Actually, we can send a friggin' space shuttle to outer space. It's the getting it back part we seem to have an issue with. But that's a whole other issue.

I live at Abu Ghraib and I wish no one brought their dogs to work!

Is there where I make the obligatory joke about keeping the Olsen Twins at the age they are now?
It's not the same thing.
.99, want to raise the prices.
.70 for the same reason I quoted.
Record companies, despite the success of iTunes and other online markets that sell singles for
One of Wired Magazine's 100 suggestions to improve the internet called for the reduction of prices to
Wholesale prices for cds hover around the $6-8 range. Dropping the price of cds to $5 would offset the money lost to piracy.
Personally, if record companies dropped the price of CDs to $5, they'd make up the lost revenue in the sheer volume of sales.
I mean, you'd have to one lazy bastard to waste time burning a cd when you could just buy it for 5 bucks.
Well if we weren't all on a list before this story, we are now. Thanks /.
My sig says it all.

How will I get my p3n1s enlarged?
Does this mean I can stop paying my bill 'cause no one will be there to shut my service off?

Only a numbskull thinks he knows things about things he knows nothing about.
Thanks. That's what I get for blindly copying and pasting.
It couldn't have happened to a nicer group of people.

No doubt their legal team uses PCs without RAMBUS installed.

Forget Kinetic Races. This look more fun and more dangerous. This combines art and flying... or crashing... or something.
Granted, this list http://www.top500.org/list/2003/11/ is a couple of months old but it shows WETA much lower in the rankings.
