The Recording Industry Ass. of America is suing ISPs to force them to block websites they have issue with, according to The Reg. Apparently they are having trouble locating the owners of some sites they say are violating their copyrights. Not being satisfied with the taxpayer funded enforcement of the DOJ, they are suing the ISPs to force them to do their dirty work.

The implications here are large, because as a general rule, ISPs in the US don't filter content. Reminiscent of China or Saudi Arabia, the RIAA would have "special interests", have control over what websites you are permitted to access. It is amazing what a small industry with a few congressmen in their pocket can do.
