News today regarding a grandmother threatened and disconnected from her ISP. With no due process or anyone to ensure that accusations are legit, there is a danger in enacting three strikes policies.
It will not take too many of these before US ISPs start to back off from agreements they may have made with content rights-holders. The PR is just not worth the marginal benefits to ISPs. For Three Strikes opponents (like me) it is probably good that these issues are cropping up before a law is passed to require it like we are seeing in France and the UK. It will not take many grandmothers or single mothers with home businesses as their primary livelihood getting disconnected to scare away legislators.
