SMH Story - charging internet service providers for file sharing - that is, charging internet users for file sharing

SMH Story here: RIAA wants to "hold internet service providers accountable" for file-sharing.
I thought we'd already basically sorted this issue out when we dealt with internet service provider liability some time ago (Copyright Act, s39B and 43A).
Thing about this is it assumes that we're all doing the file-swapping thing. Come on - even high bandwidth use doesn't mean that.
same old story, several years later. grrr.
