ISP to beging policing web on July 1st

Last July, Comcast, Cablevision, Verizon, Time Warner Cable and other bandwidth providers announced that they had agreed to adopt policies designed to discourage customers from illegally downloading music, movies and software. Since then, the ISPs have been very quiet about their antipiracy measures.
But during a panel discussion before a gathering of U.S. publishers here today, Cary Sherman, CEO of the Recording Industry Association of America, said most of the participating ISPs are on track to begin implementing the program by July 1.
Supporters say this could become the most effective antipiracy program ever. Since ISPs are the Internet's gatekeepers, the theory is that network providers are in the best position to fight illegal file sharing. CNET broke the news last June that the RIAA and counterparts at the trade group for the big film studios, had managed to get the deal through--with the help of the White House.
Sherman told attendees of the Association of American Publishers' annual meeting that planners had always said that setting up an antipiracy program like this could take a year. He told CNET following his panel that the process isn't as easy as turning on a switch.
"Each ISP has to develop their infrastructure for automating the system," Sherman said. They need this "for establishing the database so they can keep track of repeat infringers, so they know that this is the first notice or the third notice. Every ISP has to do it differently depending on the architecture of its particular network. Some are nearing completion and others are a little further from completion."
The program, commonly referred to as "graduated response," requires that ISPs send out one or two educational notices to those customers who are accused of downloading copyrighted content illegally. If the customer doesn't stop, the ISP is then asked to send out "confirmation notices" asking that they confirm they have received notice.

same with phone calls. write a cryptic letter, mail the thing. good to go, yes/no?
the other day i sent a text that read "thai stick"
it was delivered 12 hrs after i sent it out
this has been happening a lot more lately. i wonder how many people intercept and read messages from texting phones and emails and the like?
i am now sending a text..."blueberry superskunk" see how long it takes to get to where it needs to be and without getting intercepted.
and thank you gw bush for banning our freedoms in the name of terrorism and homeland security...

Those hopes are fading fast as President Obama appears to have lined up on the side of copyright owners. In a speech at the Export-Import Bank's annual conference in Washington, D.C., President Obama told attendees Thursday that his administration is firmly behind producers of creative works.
"We're going to aggressively protect our intellectual property," Obama said. "Our single greatest asset is the innovation and the ingenuity and creativity of the American people...It is essential to our prosperity and it will only become more so in this century. But it's only a competitive advantage if our companies know that someone else can't just steal that idea and duplicate it with cheaper inputs and labor."

Chadwick, your comment about writing letters led me to wonder how many kids know how to write a letter today? (This is not a put down on kids.) I wonder if anyone has done research on handwriting? When I worked with students in Human Services all tests involved written responses done in handwriting at our local community college I noticed more and more kids just out of high school had a difficult with the physical task of writing words and forming complete thoughts on paper. If a widespread crash of phones and internet service were to occur I wonder how people would communicate?

I had got several phone calls from a credit card company about my past due ballance and I said who do want to talk to and they said is this "Ty Stick"
Godfather.
have already received cease and desist letters from Comcast, Xfinity and Verizon for
the crime of downloading copyrighted material round these parts.
The warnings basically said, stop it, AND you must write a letter of apology to this, that, and the other place, or we will institute further action.
The letters were written, but I wonder if they even checked?
This was last year and earlier this year already, so they have stepped it up already. Or at least these companies have.

Selling CD's for £15-£20 a piece is criminal. I shudder to think how much money I spent on LP's and CD's in my teens and 20's.
If musicians want to make money then they can always go on tour.
Doesn't most of the money for CD's go into the pockets of the record company anyway?
