[LINK] more takedown notices - AT&T in US

[Jan Whitaker]

suraj.sun writes with this excerpt from CNet: 
"AT&T, one of the nation's largest Internet 
service providers, confirmed on Tuesday the 
company is working with the recording industry to 
combat illegal file sharing. At a digital music 
conference in Nashville, Jim Cicconi, a senior 
executive for AT&T told the audience that the ISP 
has begun issuing takedown notices to people 
accused of pirating music by the Recording 
Industry Association of America, according to one 
music industry insider who was present. In 
December, the RIAA, the lobbying group of the 
four largest recording companies, announced the 
group would no longer pursue an antipiracy 
strategy that focused on suing individuals, but 
rather would seek the help of broadband providers 
to stem the flow of pirated content. The RIAA 
said an undisclosed number of ISPs had agreed to 
cooperate but declined to name them. This is 
important because the RIAA has said that repeat 
offenders faced the possibility of losing service 
­ at least temporarily ­ as part of the music 
industry's 'graduated response' plan."

Our truest response to the irrationality of the 
world is to paint or sing or write, for only in such response do we find truth.
