“The United States Internet Service provider Suddenlink
has effectively implemented a three-strikes policy for repeated
copyright infringers. After three DMCA notices, alleged copyright
infringers are disconnected from the Internet for six months,
without a refund. According to a company representative, the DMCA
requires them to take such drastic measures.“Just a few days ago France started warning thousands of
file-sharers as part of the controversial Hadopi anti-piracy law
that was introduced there earlier this year. Upon receiving their
third warning, alleged copyright infringers will lose their
internet connection for several weeks.”
