Media Companies Create Copyright Enforcement Framework

Posted by Unknown on Thursday July 7, 2011 @05:20AM from the copying-is-bad-mmkay dept.

An anonymous reader writes with an article in Ars Technica. From the article: "American Internet users, get ready for three strikes^W^W 'six strikes.' Major U.S. Internet providers — including AT&T, Verizon, Comcast, Cablevision, and Time Warner Cable — have just signed on to a voluntary agreement with the movie and music businesses to crack down on online copyright infringers. But they will protect subscriber privacy and they won't filter or monitor their own networks for infringement. And after the sixth 'strike,' you won't necessarily be 'out.'" It's not suspicious at all that most of the ISPs signing on for this are owned by or own media companies.

What else would you call a bunch of mentally deficient lunatics who are so upset about the fact that the Prez is actually from the US that they are peeing themselves?
