I'm hoping because an ISP is taking the offensive this time.......perhaps, just perhaps, they'll have a bit more luck........
It would be a great thing to have the RIAA getting entangled into a number of lengthy, expensive and PR-wise catastrophic court cases against ISPs and other corporations. They may easily intimidate private netizens but not so with corporations with deeper pockets. High profile court cases also get extensive news coverage which makes it harder for the politicians to quietly side with the RIAA and accept their corruption money without having to pay a political price for it.
