It's been a while since I worked in an ISP, but I remember MPAA/RIAA requests coming through via email, which back then we regularly just binned. Which in this regard has been making me wonder....<BR>

How are these requests even verified to be real? How are they submitted? How are they recieved? Is there a secure communication channel? Who, within an ISP, has the authority to authorise the requests? Is an ISP bound to secrecy? If not, would they please publish all domain and/or IPs blocked, as well as their policy for dealing with such requests. If they are bound to secrecy, I think this needs to be pushed and highlighted.<BR>

last time I did em, no secrecy, how can there be, they are not a LEA. They also have no oversight, they are mostly dumb arsed bots<BR>
that just spew trash, a colleague of mine pointed out to me once when he took over my duties whilst I was on leave, that one came in for, and we both verified the complaint for, OPEN SOURCE software, as of then, their credibility was shot to bits.<BR>
