National 'Copyright Alert System' To Go Live On Internet
Net providers begin warning of illegal downloads
ANNE FLAHERTY, Associated 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....

I for one, am not "illegally sharing music, movies or television shows online" - I do it off line, so I'm innocent of copyright issues.
I go to my local library, where they are sharing with the entire public, a huge selection of music CDs and Movie DVDs and I can borrow them for free - I would not share TELEVISION SHOWS with anyone - That would be aiding and abetting in the mental degradation of a fellow human being.
Simple solution for the various industries - STOP PUTTING YOUR COPYRIGHTED MATERIALS ON THE WORLD WIDE WEB!

some how I feel this is going to effect all the people that are reposting youtube movies, photos and articles from web sites, that we share to wake people up about all the tyrannical things going on, But I'm overly suspicious, the government and there Hollywood palls would never do that

Let me get right to THE point .... I am a SEVERE download WHORE!!! .... That being said as so bold of an admission of my ebil pirating ways.. I found a decentralized torrent client just now. Its unlike the paid proxy services .. totally free as far as the write-up on it says... I'll be testing it in the next 24 hours... Just to clarify my addiction for downloads of pretty much everything possible.... I have 1.5 terabytes of hard drive space.... Its easy for me to fill up all that space in less than 6 months.... TOO easy... The DMCA said
The six additional exceptions are as follows:
1. Nonprofit library, archive and educational institution exception
(section 1201(d)). The prohibition on the act of circumvention of
access control measures is subject to an exception that permits
nonprofit libraries, archives and educational institutions to circumvent
solely for the purpose of making a good faith determination as to
whether they wish to obtain authorized access to the workI claimed this exemption REPEATEDLY to my internet provider and they assigned me ONE customer service tech to handle every one of my internet issues... Not that I BELIEVED in my own exemption lol since law is all up to interpretation anyways... But at least I was not sharing the downloads or making money off of them.
I said all that to rant a bit ... But if you torrent quite often as I do .. You'll want to get into Tribler
http://www.tribler.org/trac That's the download link. OR you could keep using your current torrent client and pay for proxy protection unless you know free tricks that I don't.... Happy pirating friends.

this system is so milk toast, it will detect direct downloads only, but anybody who knows downloading can bypass this crap, torrents, bit-pieces, tor browsers and such won't be detected. THE ISP's don't even like this setup, and besides they want your monthly invoice instead of kicking you off their system.

No way ... I have about 12 DMCA violations from torrents since Jan of 2008 ... They DO detect copyrighted torrents.

well i got into hacking DBS systems around 96-97, the masters showed me how to get these needed files on something new called the internet. Before, it was all up to the USPS and the wait game. They told me about IP addresses and how to hide & dance 'em around. I was fortunate to get on the privy bandwagon early. DISH & DIRECT used to have teams of guys scowering the sat sites, trying to infiltrate the groups and basically nail us.....they caught 1 for every 20 ;)
