140 U.S. Internet Providers Disconnect Persistent File-Sharers
Found on TorrentFreak on Saturday, 05 July 2014
Rightscorp, a prominent piracy monitoring firm that works with Warner Bros. and other copyright holders, claims that 140 U.S. ISPs are actively disconnecting repeat copyright infringers.
By introducing disconnections Rightcorp hopes to claim more settlements to increase the company’s revenue stream. They offer participating ISPs a tool to keep track of the number of warnings each customer receives, and the providers are encouraged to reconnect the subscribers if the outstanding bills have been paid.
Unless there is a court order, the ISPs don't have to disconnect anybody. Instead they are ruining their reputation by giving in to dubious demands and anger their paying customers.
