I think it's a good approach to the failing system of P2P file sharing. Hitting Mothers' with $200,000 fines is wrong, and this fixes the problem, and will likely lead to a better solution
.No more lawsuits for illegal downloaders

Heh, yah. There's pretty much zero of a chance that we can lose our internet, especially since the music industry stopped suing us illegal music swappers. Anywho, I'm excited xD.Azariah Ben Yaakov wrote:It's still illegal, and you can potentially risk losing your internet, but personally, with the wide variety of ISP's, the risk is exponentially nonexistent.
I believe that this will probably be far more practical for a number of reasons, in part because it won't cost them anywhere near as much as legal fees would to my knowledge. And it's almost certainly better at preventing any confirmed repeat offenses.
