Big US ISPs agree to cut off filesharers

Shogun · 9th July 2011, 09:01

A NUMBER of major US internet service providers (ISPs) have sold their souls to the devil by creating the Center for Copyright Infringement (CCI) aligned with the RIAA and MPAA cartels.

This 'partnership' aims to both hand down punishment by tormenting internet subscribers and supposedly lead re-education efforts aimed at alleged repeat copyright infringement offenders.

The CCI isn't an effort that requires added government support, but it will likely be applauded by the pro-industry US government. As part of the agreement, AT&T, Comcast, Time Warner Cable, Verizon and Cablevision will voluntarily send out 'copyright alerts' to accused so-called 'pirates'.
