The Copyright Alert System

This articel from Metal Injection popped up on my Facebook feed.

I'm to lazy to start summerazing it (fortunately the article is short already)

And the video:

What do you think, capitalists thinking about making more money even if they have more than enough, privacy being violated or maby a system that will improve the media industry?(<-- Just wrote that to seem more objective)

Firstly, if you're running forced encryption in your p2p client, you do have plausible deniability should it ever go to court (since deep packet inspection won't work, they won't have proof.) However, that doesn't save you from the entire lack of due process in this system. In order to overturn a 'strike,' you have to PAY to have your case reviewed, with no guarantee that the strike will be overturned. Essentially your only option is to open a suit against the RIAA/MPAA (who're running this whole show) and hope you don't get pounded into oblivion by their very well payed lawyers.

Participating ISPs (Comcast, AT&T, Cablevision, Time Warner Cable, and Verizon as of now) have better places to use their money, like upgrading our aging and slow infrastructure that lags behind countries like Latvia and Bulgaria in average download speeds and uptime.

tl;dr shit sucks move to another country for good internet

Apparrently It's mainly for torrents rather then direct downloads, flash videos, and a VPN should solve the problem.

Yeah I've heard about this. The "six-strike system" as they call it. After 6 hits you lose internet service. Most of my friends believe the end result will be an overall loss in users. Just like when Netflix jacked up their price. Anyhow, isn't Peerblock a defense against anybody finding you through P2P?

What concerns me most is the concept behind it: guilty until proven innocent. Incorrectly identified users will need to spend money to clear their names…
CAS is not a law, it doesn't stop RIAA or MPAA from taking offenders to court, instead it uses ISPs to punish copyright violations, which is against an ISPs own business interest. You could potentially use a VPN to get around this, but you will need to choose a VPN which doesn't record your IP address, commonly known as no log VPN. Suddenly, Kim dotcom's new mega seems promising since everything will be encrypted.
