said by Chubbysumo:The six strike plan will fail, and no ISP would ever cut off a source of revenue. As soon as one ISP does, all its other customers that can jump ship will. Also, since an IP is no longer a person, and the so called "proof" that these notices and companies use now, which are swarm logs of an IP address, is being put to the test in florida, it remains to be seen if this falls flat or gets burnt to the ground. If the Swarm logs are not enough proof of a download, it means that the CCI cannot send out anything citing those swarm logs as proof, since it could be disputed in court that they are not proof of anything. Also, people are ignoring the huge fact that this system is a "guilty until proven innocent" system, which never is in the favor of the accused. Why should an accusation of something even count as anything?
I don't the law applies in this case. The system is entirely voluntary by the ISPs. There are no courts or laws that impact the 6 strikes rule. It's a private agreement between the mpaa/riaa and the ISPs.
I agree that is pretty lame and they're no recourse. If I were in an affected area the first thing i would do is support an ISP that didn't agree to the 6 strikes. (hopefully every region has an option like that).
