"Six Strikes" Plan - Tell your ISP NO!
« on: February 25, 2013, 06:43:22 PM »
Here it comes: After over a year of secret negotiations with the players who pushed SOPA, the major Internet Service Providers on the verge of implementing their "Six Strikes" plan to fight "online infringement".  With essentially no due process, AT&T, Cablevision Systems, Comcast, Time Warner Cable and Verizon will get on your case if you're accused of violating intellectual property rights -- and eventually even interfere with your ability to access the Internet.  (You can contest accusations -- if you fork over $35.)

"We oppose the "Six Strikes" proposal and the monitoring of users and interference with their Internet connection which it entails.  We urge you not to implement it -- and will make a point of purchasing service from ISPs that don't."

And where do I go after I threaten to take my money elsewhere??
