No truer words were ever said. It's not the ISP's job to protect these guys from bad business decisions. I wonder if his attitude would be the same if "the pirates" figured out a way to steal service from his ISP? Already been done.

To TK: The cable companies don't ask the phone companies to disconnect telephone service from customers who don't pay their cable bill. Why then should the entertainment companies expect the ISP to disconnect their own problem consumers?
As for three-strikes, it's too severe. We don't take away someone's drivers license without due process, we ought not take away Internet access with any less scrutiny.
