Media Companies Create Copyright Enforcement Framework

From Slashdot : Media Companies Create Copyright Enforcement Framework

"American Internet users, get ready for three strikes^W^W 'six strikes.' Major US Internet providers — including AT&T, Verizon, Comcast, Cablevision, and Time Warner Cable — have just signed on to a voluntary agreement with the movie and music businesses to crack down on online copyright infringers. But they will protect subscriber privacy and they won't filter or monitor their own networks for infringement. And after the sixth 'strike,' you won't necessarily be 'out.'" 

It's not suspicious at all that most of the ISPs signing on for this are owned by or own media companies.
