Verizon Asked to Share "Six Strikes" Alerts for BitTorrent Lawsuit
http://j.mp/Yx2gPT (Torrent Freak)
"It's just a few weeks since the six-strikes copyright alert system was
activated in the U.S. and already it's being utilized in a civil
action against an alleged BitTorrent pirate. To prepare for a trial
against a Verizon subscriber, adult movie studio Malibu Media has
subpoenaed the user's ISP to hand over copies of DMCA and six-strikes
notices issued to far. In addition, the copyright holder also wants to
know how much bandwidth the subscriber uses each month, and what
pay-per-view programs were watched."

As Gomer Pyle would say: "Surprise, surprise, surprise!" Did anyone
*really* think the six-strikes plan was about just warning people with
a nice, graduated system? Nope, it's already being turned into an
evidence collection machine -- as was expected all along!
