Mpaa Tries To Gets Help To Filter The Net

[Dubh Aingeal]

Ars Technica is reporting that the MPAA is trying to convince major ISPs to do content filtering. Now, merely wanting it is one thing, but the more important point is that 'AT&T has agreed to start filtering content at some mysterious point in the future.' We're left to wonder about the legal implications of that, but given that AT&T already has the ability to wiretap everything for the NSA, it was only a matter of time before they found a way to profit from it, too.

Yes but the real worry is will they just police their own customers, or the sections of the internet backbone that they own.

If they are going to do it. I would guess its going to be across what they own. Not just their customers.
