Hollywood wants ISPs such as AT&T and Verizon to help in its fight against piracy. Unlike AT&T, which is talking about developing a system that would identify and block illicitly copied material.
Verizon has no plans of agreeing to Hollywood’s request and the company has three good reasons to back its decision.
First of all, it opens the door for other organizations to make demands as to what should and shouldn't be allowed.
Second, such actions would set a precedent and ISPs might be held responsible for future cases where they fail to block content.
Third, Verizon considers that content filtering is basically an invasion of privacy and therefore not a practice to be used.
