ISPs will not be able to monitor every individual on a network EVER and even if they do "approve" me, how do they know what I'm doing if i were to use an encrypted torrent system? (which will be the next stage in piracy).
If I upload a zip file called 'myupdates.zip' to my website, how do they know whats actually inside that zip?

While I agree that they should take some responsibility, its easy to point the finger at ISPs.

Ifyou can't get approved as an uploader to your own ISP then you need to find out why. It would need changes in the way we work, but it can be done. It would need the law to be worded so it's not a slam dunk disqualification if one rogue person uploaded something wrongly. But the law needs to be changed some way so ISPs don't just turn around and claim they are not responsible.

Or we all lose out.

Got any better ideas.

Gonzo prove it or fuck off.
