25.08.2009: 3-Strikes in Grossbritanien angekündigt

Die Diskussion um die Einführung einer 3-Strikes-Regelung ist in Grossbritanien schon länger an der Tagesordnung. Nun gibt es eine offizielle Ankündigung. Der Guardian berichtete als erstes: Internet cut-off threat for illegal downloaders.

In the report, the then communications minister Lord Carter said illegal filesharers should receive letters warning them their activities could leave them open to prosecution. If that failed to reduce piracy by at least 70%, Ofcom would have the power to call on internet companies such as BT to introduce so-called “technical measures” to combat piracy. The most draconian of these measures was to slow down a persistent filesharer’s broadband connection, but it would not appear until 2012.
