Rumor: Six-Strikes Anti-Piracy Plan Rolling Out Next Month



For over a year now, there have been rumors floating around about major ISPs' plans to institute a "six-strikes" plan to curb piracy. According to some leaked AT&T training documents drudged up by TorrentFreak, it's finally rolling out for real on November 28th.
The six-strikes plan, a set of private agreements between major ISPs and major rightsholders, has been rumored to include such measures as throttling the bandwidth of repeat offenders, but specifics have been scarce because everyone has been pretty tight-lipped. The leaked AT&T documents have shed some light on the system.
Under the agreement Internet providers were free to choose how to punish repeated infringers. AT&T decided to implement a targeted website blockade combined with a copyright course, as opposed to other repressive measures such as throttling the connection speeds of subscribers.
Under the copyright alert system Internet providers have to inform copyright holders about which IP-addresses are repeatedly flagged. The MPAA and RIAA can then use this information to ask the court for a subpoena, so they can obtain the personal details of the account holder.
