Music Downloaded from Internet ?
The Recording Industry Association of America will no longer file lawsuits against people it believes have illegally downloaded music from the Internet, and instead is asking ISPs to snitch on so-called pirates.
In switching tactics, the organization is seeking cooperation from ISPs: if an Internet user appears to be pirating music, the RIAA will e-mail the ISP, according to the Journal.
Subsequently, the ISP is supposed to forward the notice to an alleged violator or send some type of other warning. However, unlike the past, the pirates’ identity will remain anonymous.
After an initial warning, the RIAA is asking ISPs to enforce a “three-strikes” policy: if music pirates ignore two warning notices, the organization has asked the ISPs to suspend or cut off Internet service, according to the paper.
