This just in from Lauren Weinstein. This is, of course, today.

Have people actually deployed changes to support this?

Six Strikes is not a law; it's a private agreement.

Who said it's a law?

The federal agents who get the list of offenders every week?? :stuck_out_tongue:

If it was in fact a law, it would be a lot easier for the victims to
fight back in a court of law.

Other than a few IP mix ups years ago, is this still really an issue? It
seems ISPs have pretty reliable IP lease histories for many years to
support LEA requests and other needs...

The fact that the ISP has a good record of what customer had what IP address
doesn't do much good if the agency hired to do the dirty work calls the ISP
and gives it the wrong IP or timestamp in the the report...

And since the labels and their contractors are arguably Happy Enough if
they reduce "pirating" by *scaring* everyone rather than actually hitting
the targets, they have little incentive to care, unless one is provided
to them, um, externally.
