IFPI Claims “3-Strikes” Can Remove Single User, Not Household

[p2p rules]

Last week the Congressional Internet Caucus Advisory Committee hosted the 6th Annual annual State of the Net Conference as part of its regular attempts to gather policymakers, the press, and the public to discuss important Internet-related policy issues.

As part of that conference there was a particularly interesting panel entitled: “Copyright Strikes: When Has a Pirate Graduated to Internet Exile?” It was essentially a discussion about a “three-strikes” graduated response system and what it means for Internet users.

When a representative from an unnamed ISP asked what disconnection would mean for households that rely on VOIP for their telephone services, emergency services like 9-11 especially, Shira Perlmutter, Executive Vice-President of Global Legal Policy for the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI), replied that ISPs would be able to make the necessary distinction between it and other Internet traffic (read: DPI).
