Hollywood Targets ISPs

The Motion Picture Association of America has sent letters to the nation's ISPs and universities, according to a c|net report, warning them that users are trading movies over Gnutella. Since Gnutella is a decentralized network, it's obviously much more difficult to legally stop the system, as is happening with Napster, so ISPs are being conscripted into stopping the video trade. It's not clear from c|net whether the MPAA is making any threats; the MPAA spokesman says they are "educating the population."
