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

Get an actual copy of the court document and see what the petition has asked for. Don’t rely on what’s written on the article because that’s a small portion extracted and interpreted by the writer.

Those are examples of implementation, Bernard, not effectiveness.

I'm sorry but this seems a rather desparate move from copyright holders. If someone can give me one example anywhere around the world, anywhere, that litigation has worked to reduce priracy I will give them 1000 bob. 

This here is a failure of business model than anything else. 

Even if they won this case how do they expect ISPs to stop it if not by using means that violate my privacy like deep packet inspection?

All the best,
