Well now people have a legal out...

They've read the material, spent 35 to protest their innocence (open router, etc), and thus when the MPAA / RIAA try to sue, have a ground to argue they didn't know until informed.

I highly doubt any ISPS are going to cut the cord. They aren't about losing money.

Just legally download your content

I download my music on iTunes and I can buy movies on iTunes as well. I have never gotten a copyright warning because I pay for my content and get it from legitimate sources.

For what reason? Making you angry? It is within the ISPs rights to do what they are doing. Like it or not.

Re: Well now people have a legal out...

Saying you have an open router will very possible just result in a loss of $35. They don't care. They are tracking strikes by account, not person.

Yes, but you've spent 35 dollars to profess innocence. ISP "exonerates you", and the MPAA / RIAA have now lost grounds to sue I'm guessing. After all, open router, hacked, etc, the ISP buys your excuse for the "fee".

If taken to court, bring said I was found innocent due to X reason. 35 dollars is a lot cheaper than the 1000's a lawyer costs to make the same case.

Quite honestly, I know 1 person who got their connection cut under Mediacom's 3 strikes. And they were completely guilty. I don't know of any instances of false strikes and I know of a lot of people with Mediacom. Most people don't even know it exists. That's how transparent it is. It took Torrentfreak years to figure it out.

I'm pretty sure...

I read that after your 5th violation you get a 6 month term at a regional "Reeducation Camp".

Iowa Cowboy, unfortunately in this forum, saying that you legally purchase digital content will only get you branded as a sucker...

what about the 7th time ?

i have read that nothing happens after the sixth strike.

i have also read that ISPs will not be turning over information on subscribers.

so does that mean its a good idea to get the six strikes over with to enjoy unrestricted internet from that point on?

perhaps we(the people of the internet) should compile a list of likely false detected downloads allowing people to legally hop through the six strikes without actually pirating anything.

will $35 reset my count ?

if i pay $35 and win my case does it reset my count and i go through six new strikes?

if so it sounds much better to me to get the six over with since nothing happens after the sixth strike.

So when you're given strikes for false positives then what? You can't prove innocence any more than someone who is guilty. Oh but their system must be 100% perfect right?

I'm not saying he is a sucker. I do believe in buying content. What I am saying is, just because you buy your stuff legally does not mean your safe from this system.

That's not related. Ford doesn't have any rights to do so. ISPs do.

If you leave your router open you kind of deserve to get your internet cut off. Anyone spending $35 to protest is an idiot. It's called 6 strikes and then NOTHING happens so why bother spending $35? And I'll be $1,000,000 not one single innocent person gets flagged 6 times in a row. EVER. WILL NOT HAPPEN.

ISP's need not be accurate pull information out of anus.

If the same level of accuracy is used to identify the IP address of subscribers downloading copyrighted material as is used to measure data consumption against CAPS all is lost. I am sure that the ISP's do not care whether or not they are accurate. They will get $35.00 if the subscriber wants to protest a false accusation that they downloaded copyrighted material. Essentially the six strikes plan is copyright trolling. Since we have the most corrupt government money can buy, do not hold out hope that government will act to regulate data meters or insure the accurately of the linking of IP addresses to subscriber accounts.

Re: Cue the class-action lawsuits in

I imagine the agreement to arbitration in everyone's end user license agreement would prevent lawsuits.

Not if you never illegally downloaded copyrighted material and you receive a letter because the ISP was sloppy linking the date when you were assigned the IP address, that was previously assigned to another subscriber's account. So they send you a warning letter even though another subscriber previous assigned the IP address did the dirty deed.
