CNN is reporting that BSA is lobbying for copyright changes. They wish to require that ISPs be required to reveal the identities of individuals who may be distributing copyrighted software on the net using P2P technologies.

The courts have so far resisted this interpretation of existing laws, instead requiring that lawsuits need to be filed separately to obtain those records from ISPs.

Here’s your thought of the day: why should law require an industry to be deputized into a law enforcement capacity and to reveal the private information regarding someone’s use of the internet before there is any evidence whatsoever that a crime has even been committed?
