‘Three strikes’ laws will be expensive for ISPs
According to new reports coming out of France, any ISP willing to join the RIAA in its “three strikes” your out laws against piracy will have to spend a lot of money to enforce the rules, as much as 16 million USD per year.
Although the laws have been struck down by the EP and the German government, they have been adopted in New Zealand and is moving towards adoption in France, where President Nicolas Sarkozy is a big proponent.
The ‘three strikes’ rules would give alleged pirates two email or written warnings from their ISP before they have their Internet connection completely shut off and their name blacklisted.
The French newspaper La Liberation added that if France were to adopt the rules, the bill could “trigger around 10,000 warning e-mails, 3000 letters and 1000 decisions about Internet cut-offs per day,” forcing the ISPs to hire new workers and incur new costs.
