No ISP royalties
Thank you supreme court!
In a unanimous 9-0 decision, the court ruled that although ISPs provide the hardware and technology, they aren't responsible for what people download.Top court rules ISPs not liable for royalties The music companies wanted the big providers like Telus, Bell, Sprint, and AOL to pay because some people download music from the Internet. I hate this sort of "punish everyone, guilty or not" mentality like we currently have on blank media. Buy a 30 cent blank CD in Canada and 21 cents goes to some musician no matter what that CD is for. *sigh*
