    A controversial strategy to combat Internet piracy took effect Monday?

    Who knew?


    'Six Strike' System, Slowing Or Suspending Internet For Illegal Downloads, Takes Effect Monday



    A controversial strategy to combat Internet piracy took effect Monday, meaning subscribers who illegally share movies or songs could be punished by losing Web access or having their broadband speeds slowed to a crawl.

    The new "Copyright Alert System," or "six strikes" system, is the result of a partnership between major Internet service providers and the entertainment industry to deter theft of copyrighted material online. The film and recording industries say online piracy costs them billions of dollars in lost revenue each year.

                          If I receive a notice then I know the system is flawed as there is no illegal downloading going on here.

                          If I don't receive a notice then it means the system is working.

                              with virtually no due process

                              users suspected of downloading copyrighted content.

                              Following a series of escalating warnings, the plan would allow ISPs to slow down, or "throttle," the Internet connection of suspected copyright violators.

                              And if you want to contest the accusation? That will cost you $35.



                              Great idea. What could go wrong ?
                              how can i help you today ?

                                  You do know that it is the prerogative of an ISP to do that, correct? What's great is that when you own a business and sell a service you can decide what your customers can and cannot do. Even porn does it with TOS. Actually, I'd be hard pressed to find something that doesn't do it.

                                  ISP's are free to terminate business with anyone they see fit.
