EU protects downloader privacy Record labels and film studios cannot demand that telecom companies hand over the names and addresses of people suspected of breaking European copyright rules by swapping illegal downloads, the EU's top court has ruled.

on the other hand, the music industry should think once why people are attracted by music downloads i.e. before the digital age you recorded your farovite songs form vinyl to tape and now you can even copy them for CD to CD.

Interesting points but it is not only the ISPs who are to blame but also the application providers who enabled P2P networks or filesharing applications. An ISP can not control what is going over its network e.g. if you own a pipe network for power you do not know what which ion is used for and by whom as well as where it does come from.

Rubicon is a neutral party - for how long as the proliferation of ad networks and ecosystems will force them to make a selection or not?

Leading the charge was later-stage VC - but what about early stage investments? Without Early Stage there will be no Late Stage and Business Angels can not take over all Early Stage investments.
