Obama Contemplating Three-Strikes Piracy Law

It's because of Joe Biden, he's bought by the film and music industry, too bad Obama chose him as vice president.

If they find a way to stop file sharing I can only afford pringles so they still won't get my money.

well said jedispork, +1 from me !

ISP companies cutting off the line?? Not wanting the money anymore?

HARD to believe that ever will happen

The catch is you still have to pay for the service even if they cut you off. ISPs will be so happy with the new law, they can keep collecting money without providing any services.

I agree Speedo! A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have.

That sucks. If they cut-off my internet, I'll have to hack my neighbor's wi-fi! There's no way the government can stop us!

Agreed! They are fighting a losing battle. Knowledge has to be shared.

Now, that is big pile of poo. I would NOT pay if they cut off my bill. Mostly likely I'd say see ya in court, fellas.

Very interesting.....it definitely would work, slowing illegal downloads, but I think it's impossible to force companies like Comcast to cut off somebody's internet connection without them getting some sort of compensation in return......this will be tied up in heated arguments for a long time between Congress and ISP providers in the USA.....therefore, it will never happen......we can't even get universal healthcare and they're going to cut somebody's internet for illegal downloading....yeah, right....
