Thursday, July 7, 2011 at 8:17PM Big Brother Might Give You a Warning about Illegal Downloads
Don't worry, it's not like they track you down all the time.
In another effort to drive down illegal downloading, a new organization, the Center for Copyright Information, will push for legal ways to warn consumers about the consequences of illegal downloading. The group is backed by the trade groups, Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) as well as the music industry equivalent, Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and even internet providers such as Comcast and Verizon Network.
The Center for Copyright Information is coming up with ways to give warnings to internet users about the potential consequences of downloading movies, music, and tv shows illegally. What is being discussed, according to Deadline, is if a person were to download something illegally, he or she would receive warnings through email, have their internet speed noticeably reduced, and/or block their internet service altogether. Because of the lost of potential earnings, the Center wants to treat this similarly like credit card and financial frauds.
Again, this effort is going through legal means so user information will not be shared to the companies and internet service will not be cut off. However, what the companies seem to be doing is some kind of Big Brother type of effort in dealing with illegal downloads. Their belief is that if consumers see the warnings and consequences of downloading illegally, then it will cut down on that activity. The center also states that they lost about $16 billion in earnings due to illegal downloads, according to Deadline.

The amount of spam on this site is getting annoying.
I know my ISP already does this. I would occasionally download a tv show only to come back and see a warning message that I had to delete the file before my service would be restored. After a few go rounds I had to call them to restore access.
