Seriously. WHAT THE FLYING FUCK WORLD.
"File-sharers, beware: By July 12, major US Internet service providers (ISPs) will voluntarily begin serving as copyright police for the entertainment industry, according to Cary Sherman, chief executive of the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The so-called “six-strikes” plan is said to be one of the most effective anti-piracy efforts ever established in the US."
The article goes on to give details. After six notices, internet providers will decide to throttle a person's internet speed, or cut it off altogether. I don't know if they will crack down on torrents only, or if it is up to the internet provider. I get the sense it is up to the internet provider. So some people could get away with downloading non torrents, while others might get their internet service cut off. I urge you to click it and read, as we all know people who download.
No more downloading eps of your favorite shows for vidding, gifs, or fanfiction art. No more downloading screencaps possibly. I'm so sorry my friends. I don't even know if BT Guard will work to protect you, but I would google it if I were you. It is a professional service that supposedly can protect you from the invasive eyes of your internet provider.
Just, my friends, please make each other aware. Please be aware of the date JULY 12TH. Mark your calendar and double check with your internet provider by then. If you start receiving notices of downloaded activity, this is why. And your internet service could be throttled or cut off.

no subject
This is a great article for me because I'm actually in the planning stages of a research paper for a Communication, Technology, & Society course I'm taking.
I have over two dozen bills to review that are currently in house legislation but surprisingly, most of them seem to be about protecting people's privacy. There's only two that I can tell that are trying to sneak in under the radar that want to monitor browsing. BUT I NEED TO CHECK MORE.
As for this, it seems the "launch date" has been set back again because most service providers are not yet ready to implement the shit the copyright holders want. Here's an article here: https://torrentfreak.com/us-six-strikes-anti-piracy-scheme-delayed-120518/ (I need to find a more reputable source, but the article is worth a look.)
The same publisher - a torrent news site - also published this: http://torrentfreak.com/riaa-mpaa-copyright-warnings-facts-and-fiction-090328/ which you may find informative.
This subject is really of interest to me, not just because I'm a huge pirate ^_^; but because if legislation goes through that curtails peoples' internet usage and sites they can access, how far away are they from curtailing our freedom of speech and of the press? IDK. Just seems like a slippery slope.
But thanks again for the info!
