MPAA, RIAA: Lawsuits won't protect content

(from a report by a "coalition" "including": MPAA, RIAA, and AFTRA)

>Peer-to-peer file sharing continues to account for at least 25 percent of all broadband traffic worldwide. A very high proportion of this traffic involves unauthorized copies of movies, TV programming, sound recordings, and other copyrighted works.

[citation needed]

I wonder how much Youtube alone accounts for, much less all the legal video services. And how much illegal P2P falls under US/EU traffic, outside of which the coalition probably has little effective-jurisdiction.

edit: hahahahaha!

>The coalition complained that the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, the law that offers Internet service providers a safe harbor from copyright liability, offers companies too many loopholes. They say that the way the law reads now, ISPs have too much of "an excuse to do nothing to combat pervasive and even blatant infringement."

Oh, they totally had that coming. After ramming it down our throats, and attempting to do so to the rest of the world via the ACTA, it's nice to see it biting them too.
