Quebec ISP To Terminate Subscribers Over Copyright

Posted by timothy on from the audacity-of-audacity dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Quebecor, which owns Quebec's biggest ISP, has thrown in with Hollywood interests by arguing for the 'graduated response' approach that would kick off subscribers based on three allegations of infringement. The company told Canada's telecom regulator that net neutrality rules are not needed since content blocking has social benefits, including the potential for a three-strikes-and-you're-out policy."

    They're encrypting their traffic? Oh well, assume they're guilty and ban them anyway.
