Last week we noted that the RIAA’s new anti-piracy plan comes with a slew of serious questions, not least of which is how smaller carriers are supposed to pay for implementing and supporting this new warning system. A small Louisiana ISP by the name of Bayou Internet and Communications tells the RIAA that if they want ISPs to play content nanny, they need to bring their checkbook. “They have the right to protect their songs or music or pictures,” Bayou owner Jerry Scroggin says. “But they don’t have the right to tell me I have to be the one protecting it. I don’t want anyone doing anything illegal on my network, but we don’t work for free.”
