Authors Guild demands ISPs monitor, filter Internet of pirated goods
http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2015/07/authors-guild-demands-isps-monitor-filter-internet-of-pirated-goods/
The guild, in a letter to the House Judiciary Committee as it
mulls changes to copyright law, says the notice-and-takedown
provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act favor large
corporations like Google over individual writers. The group said
that ISPs purge the Internet of infringing content on their own.
As the law now stands, ISPs are not legally liable for pirated
content, and they get "safe harbor" immunity from infringement
allegations as long as they remove infringing content at the
owners' request.
