| Termination upon Allegation? Gotta love this part: "ISPs would be required to automatically terminate a customer upon a rightsholders' repeat allegation of copyright infringement at a particular IP address."
So all the RIAA/MPAA has to do is allege that I've been pirating music/movies a couple of times and I'll be kicked off? No burden of proof or court cases to determine my guilt, mind you. The mere fact that a giant, copyright owning corporation says I'm guilty is enough to shut off my Internet connection. Does that work both ways? Can I allege that they've infringed my copyright (I do create some copyrightable works) a few times (whether or not they have) and get them kicked offline? Why do I think there are processes in place that would penalize me for trying to do this but are effectively useless if they falsely get me kicked offline?

Greenville, NC | I believe the RIAA claims to represent ALL artists, even independents. So, claim away.

All they have to do is allege that pirating is occurring at an IP address associated with your account. In other words, you have to play cop over anyone with potential access to your home network (kids, wife, granddad, dog, wireless moochers), and the ISP in turn plays cop over you.
