Keep abusing copyright and keep getting caught, you deserve to lose your internet access. and the ISP's lose customers? If the ISP doesn't like a customer's usage, they can terminate that account on their own. Piracy is a civil issue, and should be left only to the 2 parties involved - the **AA, and the pirate.

Keep abusing copyright and keep getting caught, you deserve to lose your internet access. I will gladly accept this restriction if the same applies to content owners that send improper or illegal takedown notices - the third time a content owner sends an illegal/improper takedown notice, they lose the right to send anymore takedown notices.
sending improper/illegal takedown notices is copyright abuse.

Hingham, MA | Bah, if the internet providers want to sign up a customer they should have every right to do so- let the companies enforce their copyrights in the way copyrights have always been enforced since the beginning, fines and court orders. | |

It is more like "Keep being accused of abusing copyright ..." since in France you are guilty until/unless you prove otherwise. | |

| thing is this would never make it in the US because you would have some Mom and Pop WISP that can run a great network but cant afford to spend what it would most likely cost to be a member of the blacklist database. and if it where done here we know access to the DB wouldn't be free.

That's only if the blacklist database cost that much money, which if your conspiracy theory is right, might be true, but doesn't have to be.
Remember, domain names used to be only the minimal administrative cost our taxes paid for, often supported by other entities without much unnecessary cost accounting. As you pointed out, costs do rise mostly due to mob-like government and corporate taxation and greed, but that doesn't mean they have to. The core costs are very low. | |

| said by Master_AMD :I'm glad it didn't go through, FTW us! But the vote was pretty close though all things considering. It's a tough issue. On the one side you have the outdated and incorrect business models using existing legal frameworks, so the defense of law is of interest. On the other hand, you have this sort of gaping big black hole of understanding from MBAs of what the "service economy" is supposed to be for first world countries as they submit to China's demands, and that hole gets filled by people just doing things the way they can, whether those ways are old-legal framework valid or not.
I don't relish this can of worms on anybody. | |

| Three Strikes & Your Out Doesn't people in Europe know that baseball is ONLY a game and they shouldn't make laws based merely on a game?
Also, didn't us Americans in the US already tried such a badly formed law concerning felons? Kill or rape thrice before life prison. Some idiot stole a bottle of perfume and was sentenced to life on his third strike. It was HILARIOUS when I heard about it. They had to change & amend that law many times before it became less challenged. | |

Try more like mercury, dioxin, heavy metals, etc..
I'm amazed people in Sweden know about our infamous Passaic River!
