Does anyone plan on contacting ISPs about this and reporting users? It seems to me it could have a tremendous effect on the U.S. market if many people started getting court orders for the IP addresses of both downloaders and uploaders of customers using filelockers, tubes, and torrents. As people start losing their internet connections and getting notices about downloading "Teen whores of Venice" and "I like Trannies with Big Cocks" things would start to change.

Anyone planning on taking advantage of this? Remove your content or Porn Guardian?
I have to admit I am curious about how this six strikes thing will work.

Ultimately I actually agree with one of the people who commented on that article. I think they will either send out so few notices that the result will be next to worthless, or they will send out so many that the number of false positives will be high simply by virtue of the scale of the operation and it will get them a lot of bad press which may lead to them shutting it down or greatly scaling it back.
