Downloaders’ be warned, you’re next—gov’t

[architect]

I read somewhere the authorities are already talking to various ISPs and can hold them liable. I haven't really kept track of it since I don't pirate software anyway unless abandonware MS-DOS games count.

If ISPs are held liable for the data pass through them, then mobile telcos should also be held liable for any data that pass through them, including x-rated materials, SMS messages containing libelous remarks, death threats, etc. By the same principle, the Post Office should be held liable for any illegal stuff delivered by them. All entities mentioned are mere conduits that can deliver both legal and illegal stuff.

i always thought that the global crisis was somehow caused by this ******* downloads. imagine home entertainment to the max no cost no spending

madali naman hulihin ang mga ******* downloaders. just create a new cyber job that will police the subscribers. huli ka na

tingin ko only time will tell talagang ang next regulation will be internet-related. eto ang pumapatay ngaun sa'tin lahat.

Is this related to your delusion that you single-handed are responsible are the reason why the prices of LCD/Plasma TVs are dropping in prices?

OldBlue, you might have skipped your pills last night.

Come on, if that is legal, its like saying if a Toyota Corolla hits and kills a person, then Toyota Motor Company is legally liable for the crime of murder.

In short, the ISPs will not agree to it. If GLobe/Smart/etc can get away saying they cannot monitor the sms/txt messages send/received by people, it's the same with ISPs.

Following the same logic, we should then prosecute the inventor of the gun. Or the hammer. Or the ball point pen. They can all be used to kill someone.

That's why it's called an analogy.

How is the creator/inventor of a tool liable for any wrongdoing done using his/her invention which was contrary to its intended purpose? Why should he/she be responsible for what other people do?
