is that the Telcos are immune from prosecution for any communication that takes place over their pipelines. This was done many years ago to prevent Telcos from being involved in wire fraud and libel cases. The immunity is contigent on the Telcos NOT filtering any of the communications that go through their pipelines. So by filtering and restricting traffic, the Telcos have already opened themselves up to lawsuits. They have capitulated to the RIAA instead of telling them to fuck off. The telcos need to go down in a flaming ball of glory.
