Re: Terrible idea!!! This is no different then Little Johnny getting a cellphone and racking up a $1000 monthly bill because he uses it far to much.
What you're saying is parents should give up being parents and expect the school, and companies, and the government to raise them for you.
Sorry,your kids, your job to keep an eye on them and raise them.
What you describe is just lazy parenting, and any parent doing such a poor job probably NEEDS to lose their internet so they HAVE to spend some time with the children they obviously haven't spent enough time with anyway. |

 | You are only looking at this from the families perspective. Which is NOT the point I was making. My point was, there is more money for an online sales organization to make out of every household than just the single music pirate in a household containing more than just that pirate.
I in fact agree with you that managing the pirate in the house is the parents job. That does not change the fact that this three strikes law punishes more than the pirate. It punished the people in the house who ARE NOT pirates. And if I were an "Amazon" or a "Apple" I would still want the NON-pirates in that house to still beable to use the internet and spend money.
Read a little closer next time, ok? |

 | I forgot to list the biggest loss again. BANKS and the STOCK MARKET. What would the global economic impact be that DAD the day trader cannot actually DAT TRADE because Comcast cut off the internet to a house just because Little Johnny was pirating music.
THE INTERNET IS NOT ONLY USED FOR MUSIC!
The RIAA and MPAA need to keep this in mind when making these ISP's dance to their tune. |
