Re: ISP Shouldn't Be Liable

So maybe the ISP's need to start putting up banner ads on everyone's connection that downloading copyrighted material is illegal?? Will this then make it ok??

So if they are in trouble for those people they told it was ok and then put the label on, why are they still getting sued and being liable for those after all the warnings??

I think the tobacco companies got into trouble because up until the mid-80's, they said that cigarettes were ok (or rather that studies didn't prove they were dangerous). If you started smoking after they put the labels on, I don't think you could, or rather I should say should, win a suit.

Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change the courage to change the things I cannot accept and the wisdom to hide the bodies of those people I had to kill today because they pissed me off

Exactly, nor the company that makes bullets, laser sights, scopes, etc.
