I don't believe it's the place of any internet provider to filter out sites. I don't care what is on the site, although I'm additionally tired of OMG PIRACY being treated as an evil up there with child porn and white supremacy.

Prosecute the site owners. Prosecute the site visitors. The laws aren't written to let you do either? Tough cookies. The situation isn't cheap or easy to prosecute either? What a shame.

Going after internet providers is not the solution. And it's extremely likely that the precedent WILL be abused. Raise you hand if you think Sony wouldn't have tried this against the GeoHot root-your-playstation-site. Raise another hand if you think the judge they specifically shopped for would have given it to them. Oh, look, I'm out of hands.
