Ok here's a question, why are they sueing AT&T, CW, and UU? I see
Listen4ever behind 4134 (China Telecom), who I only see buying transit
through InterNAP. Wouldn't it be simpler for them to sue InterNAP? I guess
it would sure be nice precedent, if they could make some big tier 1
providers do their bidding to filter whoever they want whenever they want.

Might I suggest filtering the websites of the offending "major labels" as 
an appropriate retort?
