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

[David Njuki]

Bernard,

I think targeting ISPs is a bit far fetched. They are service oriented as
opposed to content, which in this case is the contention.

Technically it might also be a headache to task them to implement this
locally, for example, maintaining a list on sites/IPs which serve
copyrighted vs uncopirighted material.
