via Ars Technica:  The LA Times reports that AT&T is announcing 
intention to keep copyright-infringing files off of its parts of the 
Internet, which will include large chunks of the network backbone.

"The San Antonio-based company started working last week with studios
and record companies to develop anti-piracy technology that would target
the most frequent offenders, said James W. Cicconi, an AT&T senior 
vice president."

As the Ars Technica piece points out, even the tiniest false positive rate
is going to drop an awful lot of innocent packets on the floor.  This 
would also seem to require spying deeply into user traffic ("deep packet
inspection") but what the heck, AT&T is probably already doing that 
for the NSA.
