Ashe Moses via Sydney Morning Herald; Net pirates face three-strikes rule:
"People who are caught repeatedly downloading movies, music and TV shows illegally would have their internet disconnected under legislative changes being considered by the [Australian]Federal Government.
The movie and music industries have been pushing ISPs to implement this "three-strikes" scheme voluntarily for years but talks have stalled...
The three-strikes scheme has been proposed in both France and New Zealand, but both countries dropped the proposal after a public backlash.
This week both France and New Zealand reintroduced new, modified three-strikes proposals with enhanced judicial oversight.
Britain is also reportedly considering three-strikes legislation, and the British Government outlined a goal of reducing unlawful file sharing by 70-80 per cent by 2011 in its Digital Britain report, released last month."
