“We generally are reluctant to get into the business of examining content that flows across our networks and taking some action as a result of that content,” he said.

Mr. Tauke offered at least three objections to the concept:

  1. The slippery slope.

    Once you start going down the path of looking at the information going down the network, there are many that want you to play the role of policeman. Stop illegal gambling offshore. Stop pornography. Stop a whole array of other kinds of activities that some may think inappropriate.

  2. It opens up potential liability for failing to block copyrighted work.

    When you look back at the history of copyright legislation, there has been an effort by Hollywood to pin the liability for copyright violations on the network that transmits the material. It is no secret they think we have deeper pockets than others and we are easy-to-find targets.

  3. Privacy.

    Anything we do has to balance the need of copyright protection with the desire of customers for privacy.

Mr. Tauke also downplayed the argument put forward by Hollywood and AT&T that illegal sharing of video is a burden on the network.

I totally agree with their standpoint. It costs too much money to police all that kind of crap and people would expect you to control everything.

The individual should be responsible for their actions, not the service provider.

I agree with you 100%. that would be like trying to blame a car manufacturer for making a car that can break the speed limit rather that going after the driver.
