it's a lot harder to face a shadowy organization isn't it?
here's what I know about mark monitor at least.
First, they're the company that's been acting as an intermediary between the various media groups and the major ISP's.
Second, they use this position to track end users and develop tracking tools for both sides.
Third, they also use their contacts with companies like Level 3 to track internationally and through both Torrent and TOR based services along with normal means.
they are quite literally a privately run and funded corporate information broker and monitoring service specializing in tracking what you do in cyberspace.
Remember, in the US Wiretapping is illegal without any sort of warrant or need... but apparently agencies are looking the other way because they're being helpful in tracking citizens for various alphabet organizations.
all under the guise of fighting internet pirates, when in reality the tools they are producing are being used to track what you watch, what you buy, what you read, who you talk to.
it's a conspiracy but it's not a theory because there's public-ally available evidence to back it up.
think about it.
This is exactly the sorta corporate boogieman I've read about in various cyberpunk novels, and it's giving me chills to see how close we are.
Net Neutrality was defeated by this organization uniting ISP's and Corporations together behind the scenes.
They Currently have an annual revenue of 45$M and haven't needed funding or assistance since 2002 when they started making major strides and deals with various marketing, DRM, Network, INFOSEC and information dissemination companies.
they literally have their hands in all the major people's pockets.
Edit:
the more I dig up on these guys the worse it becomes.
they were a major advocate with the Department of Commerce in pushing for ACTA in 2011, as well as the later bills including the one eliminating Net Neutrality.
They literally use Fear Mongering to influence ignorant masses to make decisions that are inherently anti-consumer and give up our rights to privacy.
ugh... so slimy.
