There's nothing new here regarding due process or anything. It's just a matter of responding to copyright infringement, which in some cases is a federal crime, the same way they already respond to other TOS violations.
f your ISP keeps getting complaints about you sending out spam, they'll cut off. No one complains about that. Why? Because there is not some huge problem from it.
Re false positives - SIX seperate complaints about the same guy hat are all false? Not likely, but just in case, that's why after six offenses they monitor the connection and only throttle the thief's connection after they confirm the activity. Most web hosts would shut you down a lot quicker than that and we don't have some big problem with sites being shut down due to false complaints.
Heck, they are saying they won't even shut them off after six complaints - just slow the connection down. Sounds like a plan CCBill devised.
