Don't Forget: "Six Strikes" Starts This Weekend

Posted by Unknown on from the if-you-can't-win-in-court dept.

Dr. Eggman writes "If you don't recall, then Broadband/DSL Reports is here to remind us that ISPs around the U.S. will begin adhering to the RIAA/MPAA-fueled 'Six Strikes' agreement on July 1st. Or is it July 12th? Comcast, AT&T, Verizon and Cablevision are all counted among the participants. They will each introduce 'mitigation measures' against suspected pirates, including: throttling down connection speeds and suspending Web access."

    It doesn't exist. It's not accurate, and therefore completely invisible. The above pixels are blanked out and your eye does not read them. Nothing to see here, please move on.

    I give up on debugging. From now on, SIGSEGV is a feature.

    We're talking about pirates here.
    You have to keel-haul them.
