Best of billso.com for May 2008
No excuses here - I haven't posted a "best of" post in a few weeks. So I'm shifting to a monthly format.
For May 2008, the most popular post was my 28 May 2008 article on ISP content filtering and the Wiretap Statute:
Paul Ohm, a law professor at the University of Colorado, is arguing that ISP content filtering is a violation of the Federal Wiretap Statute. That’s a five-year felony sentence for the ISP, and perhaps for any ISP network administrators who actually set up and performed the monitoring, because the statute personal and corporate responsibility.
This seems like a steep price to pay for monitoring traffic, throttling P2P apps and serving up highly targeted advertisements on web pages, but AT&T, Charter and Comcast seem willing to take the risk...
