ISPs to snitch on music down loaders

I’m sure we’ve all did it at one time or another. We’ve might of been watching TV, listening to the radio or checking out a friends myspace page and heard a song that we like. So we jumped on Limewire or found the song on line and downloaded it. Well watch out starting umm today the people you pay to allow to get on the internet have signed a deal with the record labels to report you.

The RIAA, which represents major U.S. record labels, will have the ISPs send warning notices to users who illegally download music files.
.....
Other measures will be taken against Internet users who ignore their first warning notice to stop illegally downloading music, and if those users continue they could find their Internet connections disconnected, the RIAA said.

So basically the I pay my internet bill every month but if i download a song or two Comcast can disconnect my service. Call me crazy but If I drive to a bank and rob it. Will Shell stop selling me gas and will
Nissan stop leasing me their Versa’s ? Come on I’m just trying to save the world :D
