forwarding a Notice to your subscribers may also save them from becoming defendants in future copyright infringement lawsuits.
and they expect to make good on that threat HOW?
Most IP's are dynamic, so saving them up for later investigation will do them no good.
They really sound desperate. It's so fun to watch them squirm.

This does not come as total shock. The ISP companies are aware the p2p is one of the major reasons for ppl to invest in broadband (at least for me anyway). They might not be saying it ouy loud but p2p is good for the ISP business. Giving ppl's info out to the RIAA (or anyone else for that matter) is not a good way to keep your subscribers happy.
