Movie Studios Sue ISP Over BitTorrent Piracy

I am not sure how an ISP that offers high speed internet is “failing to take reasonable steps” to prevent piracy but that is exactly what the movie studios are claiming. I just love this quote from the article:

The problem is clearly not lost on Michael Malone: “I think they genuinely believe that ISPs have a secret magic wand that we are hiding and if we bring it out we can make piracy disappear just by waving it.”

The only way that's gonna happen is if every ISP turns into Comcast.
