Verizon’s “Six Strikes” Anti-Piracy Measures Unveiled | TorrentFreak

During the coming weeks the controversial “six-strikes” anti-piracy system will kick off in the U.S. While none of the participating ISPs have officially announced how they will handle repeat infringers, TorrentFreak has obtained a copy of Verizon’s full policy. Among other things, offenders will have to watch a video about the consequences of online piracy, before their speeds are reduced to 256kbps. Also worth mentioning is that the copyright alert system will also apply to business customers.

In 2011 the MPAA and RIAA teamed up with five major Internet providers in the United States to launch the Center for Copyright Information (CCI).


The parties agreed to implement a system through which subscribers are warned that their copyright infringements have been monitored by rightsholders. After several warnings ISPs may then take a variety of repressive measures against alleged infringers.


After more than a year of delays the plan will officially roll out in the first weeks of this year.


One of the ISPs taking part is Verizon. Previously, the ISP made some remarks about the various punishments it would hand out to subscribers but in common with other participating providers the company has not yet announced the full details. Today, we can do this for them.
TorrentFreak has obtained a complete overview of how Verizon’s alert scheme will work and details of the mitigation measures they intend to put in place. The document is stored on Verizon’s web server but due to its placement is currently unfindable using Google.

Watch some Russian billionaire start up his own ISP, or Google kick their service into overdrive, this is the type of stupidity that allows another company to kill the market. May not happen now, may not happen in 2 years, but someone is going to hit the ground like "Yo, we can make a gang of money by not throttling back speeds".

They don't know that they shooting themselves in the foot for messing with internet speeds . Tell these retailers to stop overpricing shyt so much and tell these studios in Hollywood to step up the quality of movies.

Or realize that 1 pirated product does not equal 1 sale... they act like they are gonna see an increased return on people not pirating shyt. People who pay are gonna pay regardless. People who don't pay aren't gonna magically start supporting shyt ... They're just gonna find other means to get stuff or stop pirating
