Altice, owner of Internet provider Optimum, is not content with the RIAA's refusal to share details of its anti-piracy efforts
Altice, owner of Internet provider Optimum, is not content with the RIAA's refusal to share detailed information about its anti-piracy efforts. The ISP subpoenaed the music group to obtain potential key evidence for use in its defense against a piracy liability lawsuit filed by record labels. Faced with the RIAA's objections, Altice has filed a motion to compel.
Sadly, in Canada, the ISPs are the media owners. The Big Three (Bell, Rogers, and Telus) and own basically all of the media and all the telecom infrastructure in most of Canada, and they share Quebec with Quebecor media.
