Trying to put the brakes on piracy

I just ran across this story while I was browsing the interwebs and thought I would post it here to see what your thoughts are.

There is a movement to punish ISPs on file sharing/ content sharing of all kinds (music, movies, shows, apps, etc)

New regulations looking to punish ISPs for users stealing content | Japanator.com: anime news, original features, and weird stories from Japan, updated daily!

Its relevent to the site where I found it from due to the fact that most US anime watchers will download a show but never go out and buy thus hurting the industry.

I guess the theroy is that if you put pressure on the source (ISP) then they can curve the illegal sharing of copy written materials.

The reason Im posting this hear is due to the fact that all of these games we play are copy written. ISPs can check for content on sites and if they feel it breaks a law they can take it down.

Do you think this is a good way to handle this situation? OR will this prompt even more inovative ways to share information and not have to pay for content?
