I want to address a specific comment. The point I made earlier was that ISPs are common carriers. They're supposed to be transmitting data. To start engaging them to fight infringement more proactively means you are now asking ISPs to inject their own economic self-interest of avoiding liability into the mix of carrying traffic. That to me is a very dangerous proposition in a free and democratic society.
Beyond the cost that ISPs bear, even if they could be compensated for that, I just think it's a very slippery slope. That's why we object to all of the types of measures from the coalition on up to notice and take down. It's not just about ISPs' interests. It's about broader democratic values for the country.
