They may be able to shut down P2P traffic, but how are they going to shut down HTTP traffic? Will they actually monitor the traffic to see which file you’re downloading? I know sites like http://www.myotherdrive.com only send traffic via http to help get through firewalls, etc. Maybe that’s why Comcast has become so slow for me. Maybe they are analyzing what files I’m actually downloading or uploading

Yes, it is true. Mediacom will shut off your service under this law or action. I will most likely be ending 5+ years as a customer of Internet and Cable. Under the 3 Strikes your out…rule. They sent me a letter stating I will no longer be allowed to carry their internet service because I downloaded a movie. When I called their customer (No)Service line, the person I was talking to was indifferent and did not seem to care that I was going to cancel all of my Mediacom services… totaling $130. a month. They don’t care about their customers more than they care about being internet police. Just so you know it can happen. I will try to update if anything changes.

It was a movement that started in France and the EU was bullied into stopping legislation that would have blocked such a thing. I guess the real surprise was that it took so long for the US to addopt while France was already headed into this direction. With millions of people being disconnected over this ISPs will see profits dramatically fall and think twice but not before millions get burned in this scheme including most of the innocent people who barely know how to use email.

Translation: Litigation has been to costly so the RIAA is going to scale back to only suing the big boys and try to scam ISPs into doing their dirty work against the little guy.

A lot of this can be traced back to the Obama lobby paper. The MPAA said that France was a “good model” and France has been trying to push the three-strike thing for quite some time now. The writing was on the wall I think.
