My internet service provider, Cox Communications, has
suspended my right to purchase their service without
notification. Apparently, my children have downloaded
Bearshare for the purpose of obtaining music and films.

I called the customer service department and after 2 days,
the people there stated the Motion Picture Association has
requested my service be suspended for the illegal
dissemination and sale of movies. Apparently, there was
some bill passed prohibiting the sharing of these types of
files.

Where is the due process associated with this? I was not
even given warning. I was not taken to court and received
a judgement. I have simply been denied the same basic
right everyone else has.

Why was it only a single title, when I have downloaded a
host of other programs? If this is illegal, they should
outlaw sharing of files completely. Of course, this would
render the internet rather useless.

If someone knows an attorney wanting to take on this case,
I would be more than willing to challenge this constitional
right.
