Greetings. Definitely do read the article referenced below. Particularly interesting is how AT&T attempts to simultaneously claim the moral high ground when it comes to filtering (even invoking child porn examples, as predicted) while simultaneously making it clear that economic issues are their core concern (related: http://lauren.vortex.com/archive/000356.html ).
AT&T also attempts to *praise* P2P technology at the same time that they condemn many of its users. Particularly amusing is how they'd like to legally finesse such monitoring and filtering, apparently by acting as a "notification" agent when they detect "illicit" materials -- but then not taking any direct action themselves. In this way, they obviously would hope to avoid taking on legal responsibilities that could decimate their DMCA exemptions. Anyway, it's a good article: http://www.slyck.com/story1640_ATT_P2P_Filtering_and_the_Consumer --Lauren-- NNSquad Moderator
