| what about the 7th time ? i have read that nothing happens after the sixth strike.
i have also read that ISPs will not be turning over information on subscribers.
so does that mean its a good idea to get the six strikes over with to enjoy unrestricted internet from that point on?
perhaps we(the people of the internet) should compile a list of likely false detected downloads allowing people to legally hop through the six strikes without actually pirating anything. |

The monitoring group can still go to court and force the ISP to turn over the info. But would be forced to do it legally, with an individual subpoena, & not the copyright-amatic way they often do now. The ISP still has to obey legal court orders.
But that isn't the point of the 6 strikes process. It is to greatly REDUCE the numbers of people infringing copyright. If copyright infringement is reduced say by a very conservative 50%, the RIAA & MPAA are ahead of the game. It is all a numbers game. The die-hard ingringement addicts will find a way to beat the system, but this will discourage the occassional infinger - which is the whole reason for 6 strikes.
We will still see the posts from the hackers and the die-hards who download more music than they can listen to in a lifetime bragging how easy they beat the system. But who cares - the RIAA really doesn't.

Perhaps, we (internet users) should just pay for the content we want, and stop complaining about what happens if we steal from others?  |

said by anonphoneuse :i have read that nothing happens after the sixth strike. Except that they continue to flag your IP address if it shows up as sharing copyrighted material. And when the MPAA/RIAA gets fed up with the fact that you're not being a good little consumer, they'll get a court order to get your information from the ISP and then they'll sue you. |

Well arent they kinda being forced into this?? (If they get a complaint they will act??)
If so,they probably dont really care themselves what ppl do! (But they arent gonna take a chance if they get a report about something) |
