So they won’t terminate your access if you “share” child porn, but don’t even think about sharing music.
Makes total sense. /sarc
ISP's are required to notify law enforcement if they become aware of child porn being passed around.
It turns out that child porn laws are the thin edge of the wedge of Internet regulation. This article mentions some laws regarding online file sharing. In Europe and Canada, websites that contain "hate speech" can be shut down and their owners fined or jailed. There has been some talk of banning sites that provide instructions on how to build a bomb or commit suicide. China restricts talk of democracy as well as all types of porn. Moslem countries would like to prevent access to sites that criticize Islam.
Some people will always be offended by something somebody else is doing online. Somebody will always want a new law.
