Hi guys I came across this ars technica article

http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2...nts=1&start=40


I read it and freaked out. How can internet service providers in teh USA , do this without warrant !!!!!! This does not involve security of the state or anything like that WTF? What laws allow ISP in the USA to act like this?
Net neutrality DMCA?

If they ever pulled this BS in any Canadian province, the provincial ministry of Justice would be up their arse.

What laws allow ISP in the USA to act like this? Copyright - usually in response to a complaint by a copyright holder.

It's amazing to me that people need to be told six times to knock off naughty behaviour. You see it today in schools too. I can tell you that if the first time little Johnny mouthed off to the teacher, he got a smack in his face that knocked him out of his chair, he would be unlikely to need to be told his behaviour was inappropriate a 2nd time, let alone a 6th.

Because warrants are for actions taken by government agencies, not private entities.

FWIW, the alternative is that an ISP could simply decide, for whatever reason, it no longer wanted to do business with you or to have you as a customer, and invite you to take your business elsewhere.

Still they should not be able to wholesale monitor your acitivities.

They don't (although they are the one providing the service) - but if some issue comes up, such as a potential legal action (say, a copyright infringement complaint), then you can bet that steps will be taken to minimize their exposure.

It is THEIR network! If you don't like the policies for using THEIR network, then DON'T USE IT! Alternatively, perform your activities in a fashion that does not give you away as violating their policies.
