Shrewd and mean.

This is actually an impressively shrewd, if hopelessly amoral, position for him to be taking out. By claiming the burden lies with the ISPs, he's essentially calling for a form of blanket immunity for himself, his corporation, and others similarly involved.

Basically he wants to take the burden of legal compliance off Limewire et al., so that essentially he can say "policing our networks for illegal activity isn't our problem. We can share whatever files we want, if you don't like what we're sharing it's your/their/someone else's responsibility to take care of it."

I give him credit for an insightful way to protect his own tail, though I highly dislike his position.
