Consumers Could Start Receiving Anti-Piracy Notices This Week
Persistent offenders could face slower Internet service
Consumers that illegally download movies, music or TV shows could start receiving warning notices from Internet service providers this week. Persistent downloaders might even see slower Internet connections.
Beginning Monday, five participating ISPs (AT&T, Comcast, Cablevision, Time Warner Cable and Verizon) will roll out the Copyright Alert System, managed by the Center for Copyright Information. As part of what's known as the "six strikes" system, the ISPs will deliver to consumers a graduated series of six messages that starts with a warning and ends with some sort of action.
