Angry Gnutella/filesharing under attack...notice from Sony to ISPs

Grabbed this off an ISP forum. ISP's want to ignore these as_holes, but are definately worried. I expect that many other Nazies, err, whoops, Sony-loving ISPs are actively trying to block filesharing. With some success, I would guess. Can't a particular port be blocked at the ISP level, essentially shutting down the likes of Limewire, etc? Looked at Freenet.com filesharing system (impossible to stop, IMHO), but it's very, very beta.

Most ISP's will just 'throttle' you, lower your upload bandwidth. Some will block Gnutella's 6346, but since any servent can change their sharing port that's sort of half-assed. And then there's a few that send nasty-gram letters threatening to yank your connection...

Here's more:

To be honest, I /dev/null all Sony/NetPD messages.
That's about how enforceable they are.

I posted the following on 9/25:


Has anyone else received demands to terminate/suspend
customers swapping
files with Aimster/Napster, etc.?

It appears from the notice we received, below, that Sony/NetPD
does not
recognize the sec. 512(a) limitation of liability for
"transitory
communications" in the DMCA. However, I am concerned by the
general
language in 17 USC 5, sec. 512(i) which requires that a
service provider
"reasonably implement a policy of terminating in appropriate
circumstances the accounts of repeat infringers."

Does anyone know how to handle such cases?

There were no definitive replies regarding the legal issues presented,
and I still don't have an opinion regarding the enforceability of such
demands. They are so new, I doubt the issue has been litigated.

I wonder how they know its an actual sound file. Unless they downloaded it from you and listen to it, to ACTUALLY make sure it was that song they have rights to. I could have ****in 100+ big *** text files and I may want to name them popular song names then decide to put mp3 as the extension instead of txt, maybe I'm stupid. I would ask them to show some proof. Or just you could tell them you were "hacked" :x <shrugs>
