There's been discussion on this list of the Software Publishers Association's harsh and untenable stance regarding liability for Internet Service Providers. The SPA advocates liability for ISPs even when it is the ISP's customer who has the alleged copyright-infringing materials on their web pages; or, worse yet, in cases where it's merely a link to materials said to violate copyright. ISPs who are concerned about the SPA's position are invited to sign onto a letter to the SPA urging them to reconsider this misguided policy. The text of the letter is available at: http://www.vtw.org/copyright/show.cgi?file=spaltr.html and anyone interested can sign on there. I am sending this separately to both nanog and inet-access so people don't end up unintentionally posting to a list they don't subscribe to. -S. ----- Simona Nass simona@vtw.org Voters Telecomm Watch
