&gt; “Nothing in this part prohibits reasonable efforts by a provider of broadband Internet access service to address copyright infringement or other unlawful activity.”<p>I think the word &quot;reasonable&quot; shouldn&#x27;t be allowed when governing parties that consistently prove to act unreasonable :)

&gt;“The language about ‘lawful’ content and applications creates a serious loophole that seems to leave it up to ISPs to make judgments about what content is lawful or infringes a copyright, subject to challenges after the fact about whether their conduct was ‘reasonable’,” Walsh says.<p>&gt;“It’s one thing to say that ISPs can block subject to a valid court order, quite another to let ISPs make decisions about the lawfulness of content for themselves,” he adds.<p>Is it really practical to require a court order for each block?

Duh. The current topic was fueled by a peering disagreement between two companies, fighting over who gets the bigger piece of the pie.<p>Nobody is ever going to <i>give</i> you change; you have to make it yourself.
