20 Feb 2010Back in 2007, NBC lawyer Rick Cotton issued a statement to the FCC demanding they force ISPs to take action against piracy for the sake of the American corn farmer.

11 Feb 2010ISPs are seriously considering bundling subscription music services like Spotify and others for a small additional, optional fee.
