Net providers begin warning of illegal downloads http://www.myfoxny.com/story/21347184/net-providers-begin-warning-of-illegal-downloads Posted: Feb 25, 2013 7:10 PM EST Updated: Feb 25, 2013 7:12 PM EST Some Guy, SomeGuy Press WASHINGTON (AP) � Internet users who illegally share music, movies or television shows online could soon receive warning notices from the nation's five major Internet service providers. The Copyright Alert System, organized by the recording and film industry, is being activated this week to target consumers using peer-to-peer software. Under the new system, complaints will prompt an Internet service provider � such as Verizon or AT&T � to notify a customer whose Internet address has been detected sharing files illegally. A person will be given up to six opportunities to stop before the Internet provider will take more drastic steps, such as temporarily slowing their connection, or redirecting Internet traffic until they acknowledge they received a notice or review educational materials about copyright law. Consumers who maintain they have been wrongly accused would be forced to pay $35 to appeal the decision. The fee would be reimbursed if they prevail. Proponents say the focus is on deterring the average consumer rather than chronic violators. The director of the organization behind the system, Jill Lesser of the Center for Copyright Infringement, said in a blog post Monday that the program is "meant to educate rather than punish, and direct (users) to legal alternatives." Each Internet provider is expected to implement their own system. The program gives each customer five or six "strikes" after a music or film company has detected illegal file-sharing and lodged a complaint. The first alerts are expected to be educational, while the third and fourth would require the customer to acknowledge that they have received the warnings and understand their behavior is illegal. The final warnings are expected to lead to "mitigation measures," such as slowing a person's Internet connection speeds. Officials involved in the effort acknowledge it's unlikely to stop the biggest violators. There are ways to disguise an IP address or use a neighbor's connection that is unlocked. Public wireless connections, such as those offered at coffee shops, also won't be monitored. Copyright 2013 SomeGuy Press

But in America is so easy just to switch isps to get around it. Up in Canada where
copyright leeches like JmJimmy and Carlos "the ronin" Newton download anything for the
sake of downloading here it's a little different. Carlos is now broke after i punched his
lights out he yesterdays' news. There's no getting around it BT Gaurd is the one these
parasitic Canadians are looking at.

JMJimmy who won't have a pot to piss in after being rendered destitute
by Voltage picture has come up with the bright idea of using a VPN
service. Problem is even working 3 full time jobs all of it will go to
Voltage Picture until old JM's gravestone is erected.
reply to Blackguard
My brother in law had an excellent point about VPNs. Even if the boxes
themselves are under your control and don't log, the routing information
the hosting company uses would still be in play. If anything it's a
direct route to you.
BT Guard is the one we're looking at.
