How does it work?

Seriously how does this system work. Will they inspect every file, every packet? Will they use IP logging from bit torrent clients and the ISP will identify the supposed offender?

The three strikes system would be good for curbing and and possibly stopping many people from downloading pirated works, but is the information accurate? I still think there may be privacy issues in a system like this, and to blindly approve such a thing here in the US would be foolish.

Same way ISPs get information in the US. Just as some US users get DMCA letters from their providers (we've all seen copies of those letters here in the forums), French users would be receiving "warning" letters from their own ISPs.

This is a much better system than the RIAA lawsuit extortion scheme they're running.

Is it fully automatic? It can't be. No automatic system can accurately detect illegal downloads without false positives, they'd have to hire people to look through the logs of people who's downloading has been flagged as suspicious by the system. But this seems like it would involve a very substantial amount of work.

So how do they do it?
