It’s the free riders I was referring to, the people who profit parasitically from piracy. In the ISP situation, they're selling bandwidth to people who are pirating music and movies and other copyrighted materials; that's how they profit. They're not, by the way, dumb pipes; they're smart networks that can act smart or dumb as the situation suits them.
