Well this whole thing started with the RIAA stating they are no longer actively searching for users illegal downloading music. So if they are no longer actively searching for them, where are these cease and desist orders originating from? The ISP's say they are not actively seeking the users dling music nor should they, they are just forwarding the notices. The original drama started when the RIAA basically told the ISPs its their job to find the users and notify them of their doings, of which is what the ISPs "hadn't responded to yet".

"Comcast adds via spokesperson that nothing's changed" So did the RIAA lie and they are still actively seeking out and reporting to ISPs to report to the user or is this article misinformed?
