Hi there Jack I don't know if isps are in general allowed to refuse to send an email or refuse to allow a user to receive an email but I know that if I mail an MP3 using Gmail the chances are that Google meaning alphabet will refuse to transmit it based on If I remember correctly The digital millennium copyright act as currently amended And in general The principal that I shouldn't share a copy of a CD I own even track by track with someone else However I am pretty sure and this is a separate issue That if I use an editor And I've never tried To put two MP3s together to make my own creation Analogous to a well recognized principle that making your own CD mix is fine and you can share copies of that as long as it's not all the tracks from one album or CD and it represents some kind of authorship where you pick and choose music that meets your whatever needs or style or whatever That probably would sell through but I don't have any hard data I have had emails can that means canceled Based solely on violation of digital millennium copyright act And I note here there is no means for an appeal So as far as net neutrality An ISP who is not part of the backbone Might be a good thing to have An email from a secondary provider Might be a good thing to have Your mileage may vary And that's just an opinion there about the backbone and the providers
