RIAA: Highways are Responsible for Highway Robberies

Blaming ISPs for giving these hardened criminals the bandwidth for perpetrating their heinous file-sharing acts is akin to blaming the highway department for creating roads that are used by dope smugglers," said security consultant Robert Ferrell . "It just doesn't make sense."

This, following the announcement that the RIAA has set its sights on suing ISPs for providing would-be music pirates with the means to do their monkey business.

Um, okay, so Hilary Rosen might not have had a happy childhood, but you can't blame your mother for everything. Still, some judges agree with her when they ordered Verizon to turnover the name of one subscriber who allegedly downloaded 600 tunes from Kazaa in one day. Dude, that'll put you on the radar, stupid, what were you thinking?
