    U.S ISP Six Strikes plan and Porn Piracy - anyone plan on taking advantage of it?

    Many U.S. ISPs will be suspending and penalizing U.S. customers who pirate content:

    http://www.hypebot.com/hypebot/2012/...s-summer-.html

    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?

      That is a slippery slope the way DMCA is written currently.

      I suppose if this is going to be on the scale of lawyers and C&D's, by that I mean at that level through the courts, that's understandable because it's going through some sort of legal system. However, you could not do it via the user submitted DMCA process as it would open you up legally. Especially with all of the false DMCA's flying around.

          I agree legally the whole thing is dangerous but if they are going to be doing it for people downloading or uploading mainstream movies then I don't see why we shouldn't be allowed to go after users who are pirating porn content. It's ridiculous that pirating porn is seen as "ok" but pirating mainstream movies or music is a big no-no which could ultimately make you lose your internet connection. If it's legal for one it ought to be legal for the other and all copyright holders should have equal protection.

              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.

                  Comcast and Time Warner have already backed out of this.

                      Oh, and on principle I do agree that if they ends up happening and we should be allowed to have notices sent to those who are pirating porn.

                          It's a hell of an undertaking but man if they pull it off they have the potential to seriously wipe out much of the casual piracy in the U.S. Same with us if we could tie into it with our porn content. The U.S. market just might rise from the ashes once again if the common person gets too scared to download pirated porn.

                              They did? I didn't see that. Last I heard it might be delayed a bit though.

                                      True. If they can come up with an efficient way to do this, it could put a big damper on those who are, like you say, casual pirates. Many people do it because they know the odds of getting caught are very slim and it is anonymous. When that letter comes that lets them know they have been caught it will scare a lot of people enough that they will stop.

                                          There is not one legally sane adult that doesn't know they are stealing copyrighted material instead of paying for it. Issue 2 warnings then on the 3rd offense make it a felony offense. Quite fucking around.

                                                      Quote has nothing to do with thievery. It's pertaining safety and liberty.
