Most of the people I know who pirated on Mediacom changed their habits after 1 strike. They either stopped pirating or started using a VPN.

So they either stopped or got smart? LOL :)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Considering-27907864 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 14:54:45 EDT Re: Considering.. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Considering-27904569 said by Kearnstd:

Until tier 2 removes the blacklist to score a sale.

I do know of a circumstance where that happened. Mediacom found out in a matter of a week. The company policy is extremely aggressive, but it has proven fairly effective.

Could be worse. Could be 3 strikes and you are out like Mediacom. For life.

Well, since after the 6th strike, they do absolutely nothing, cutting it to 3 strikes would actually be better for the repeat offender accused.

yes because totally innocent people will be falsely accused 6 consecutive times.

I'm sure that was meant sarcastically, but I absolutely believe it will happen. Setting aside the technical complications in proving who downloaded a given file, the MPAA has proven time and again that they will claim rights they do not have.

Even after being singled out by the US Copyright Office for being a shining example of fair use, the guy is STILL fighting to keep his videos up. Do you honestly believe the automated file-a-strike system they plan to use isn't going to repeatedly flag content they don't have the rights?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Considering-27903570 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 18:00:01 EDT Re: Considering.. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Considering-27903418 said by Camelot One:
