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."

    So this is the time we should go break into powerful people's wifi and download high profile torrents and get their connections shut down. It would be funny if every high powered person in good ol' United Socialists of America was without internet because they were cutoff.
