ISPs giving up on warning pirates
 

It does not work

Major internet providers are ending a four-year-old system which gave “copyright alerts” to pirates when they viewed peer-to-peer pirated content.


According to Variety US ISPs, studios, and record labels have decided not to extend a pact that implemented the voluntary program.

The cunning plan was to fight piracy by giving Internet users subject to repeated notices if they continued to access infringing content. Those who ignored six or more multiple warnings faced possible penalties, including the slowing down of their Internet delivery, although the set of possible measures did not include having their Internet service cut off.
