RIAA chief: ISPs to start policing copyright by July 12
Comcast, Time Warner and Verizon are among the ISPs preparing to implement
a graduated response to piracy by July, says the music industry's chief
lobbyist.

NEW YORK--The country's largest Internet service providers haven't given up
on the idea of becoming copyright cops.
Last July, Comcast, Cablevision, Verizon, and Time Warner Cable and other
bandwidth providers announced that they had agreed to adopt policies
designed to discourage customers from pirating music, movies and software
over the Web. Since then, the ISPs have been very quiet about their
antipiracy measures.
But during a panel discussion here at a gathering of U.S. publishers, Cary
Sherman, CEO of the Recording Industry Association of America, said most of
the participating ISPs are on track to begin implementing the program by
July 12.
Many copyright owners say this could become the most effective potent
antipiracy program ever. Since ISPs are the Internet's gatekeepers, the
theory is that network providers are in the best position to fight illegal
file sharing. CNET broke the news last June that the RIAA and counterparts
at the trade group for the big film studios, had penned the deal--with the
help of the White House.
Sherman told attendees of the Association of American Publishers' annual
meeting, that planners had always said that it would require a year before
the antipiracy program could get off the ground. He told CNET following his
panel that the process isn't as easy as turning on a switch.
