How many times do you think that an ISP might need to be notified of a particular work being subject to copyright? You are trying to argue an already failed / rejected proposal from the original BERR Report. Move long.

OK, re read the proposals you've already read.

Sorry, you missed the bit in the proposals you already read which states that the rights holders have to pay for the notifications - not the customers. Nowhere in the proposals does it say that the customers will have to contribute anything on behalf of the rights holder (or the ISP for that matter).
