[kictanet] Music Copyright Owners sue ISPs for allowing Kenyans to download content illegally

Thu Jan 29 15:15:07 EAT 2015

James,  you didn't make a comment about the link I shared where what we are
asking has been done.

Also pls note we haven't sued anyone. This is a petition. There is a
difference.

We are seeking orders to aid them find solid ground to block sites and not
compelling them to do so, for not soft law exist, and we are seeking orders
compelling government agencies to create these soft policies as they should
and have funds for.

Do you still find an issue with that direction?
Bernard,

I asked you, Can you sue NTSA for allowing Bhang to be transported on our
roads?

???

Exactly, how the hell are they supposed to know who is transporting bhang?

In your case, exactly how the hell are ISPs supposed to know you are
downloading music illegally?

You guys are just looking for traction here....the people you should talk
to are Kenic if they registered them and the owners of the servers where
these sites are hosted. ISPs have nothing to do with this.

James
