[AusNOG] So are iiNet condoning illegal piracy?

[Skeeve Stevens]

Mike,

That is a big of an arrogant and near-sighted perspective on the issue.
 We're not talking about what is and isn't legal.  We're talking about ISPs
becoming the police and being responsible for what people do on their
networks.

We do not blame drunk drivers on the RTA/RMS/Vic Roads/etc? Nor do we blame
the local government for a mugging or other violent crime that happens on
the streets.

Police, law enforcement and prosecution of offences already have their
processes. ISPs should not be monitoring what users do, or acting on
anything from anywhere other than legal avenues.
