Comments on news posted 2009-01-27 10:30:47: The entertainment industry is on a global campaign to get laws passed that force ISPs to implement a "three strikes and you're out" policy, whereby a broadband user would be disconnected by the ISP after three piracy warnings. ..

"Banned 4 Life" just doesn't seem right.

Many people go thru "stages" in their lives.... I'm thinking when you're young and broke.

I could see someone, a teenager getting banned from their DSL and Cable accounts. Later on they're working and they don't pirate anymore, but they're still blacklisted from broadband... that could seriously effect quality of life, and especially for such a non-important crime.

Enough

I keep reading these ludicrous ideas in an attempt to support a failed business model, I say turn the whole thing around and ban the RIAA et al from accessing an ISP's bandwidth they are not paying for.

Refuse service based on hostile consumer relations and the inability to move into todays economic structure. Hold them accountable for providing a solution, based on fair practice and an improved business model.

Leave small children, the elderly and the dead alone...

Three Strikes Debate A Global Affair

I must admit that I download music, and I have NO qualms about it at all. Surely most have seen "South Park" taking the piss out of the 'poor' musicians, who can't afford gold-plated turds... Anyway, how many of us have legitimately bought CDs which contained some music we HATED, (and WAS 'shitty'), to get songs we DID like? Besides, this 'debate' should have died years ago - what were cassette and video tapes and CD-R's MOSTLY used for? Hello..? (Apart from the fact that it is MUSIC COMPANIES who force copying by charging exorbitant prices for a disc which costs bugger-all for them to produce)
